RE: Production Tutorial - "The producer's Toolbox'' Extra lesson: Step by step production process of a @Meno song.
Awesome man, it's really great that you've shared your tracks.
@piterman is one hell of a drummer, i'm really glad that you guys are brothers and working together.
I agree with the drum aspect of a production. I think it's because the drums are purely acoustic instrument and take a lot of space, and the widest spectrum in the mix. They also give the general vibe and beat to a song. So, recording good drums is of great importance, because you can re-amp the guitars or mask them through Amp simulators with DI signals, but with drums you cannot mask anything (unless that's your original idea).
Anyways, really thank you for sharing this. :)
Cheers!
Thanks dimitri! Yes , I agree with everything you say , being a guitar player I can get around with a Mix of amps and/or emulations , a lot of effects now are a plug-in , making it easier and easier to have a professional setup on a reduced space. That doesn't happen with drums at all , you need a nice , room , a nice assortment of mics , at least 4 channels for a Very minimal drum tracking approach . 2 Oh , Snare and Bass drum.. etc etc , it's a whole art in itself to get a good drum sound . I personally don't like programmed drums at all... in some styles it works better , but even then I'd rather have someone play it and then do some crazy EQ and editing .. just my opinion though ! Cheers! and thanks for your comment!
