    Such a ground breaking song. Thanks for doing this, you guys nailed it down to the overdubbed 16th note hi-hats being panned from left to right. Love these videos!

    I believe there was use of broadcast radio limiters to get this sound. Including, if I’m not mistaken the Audimax 4400 (Dave Fridmann/Greg Snow Mod)

    Please do any Martin Hannett produced Joy Division/New Order song since he made drummer Stephen Morris record every drum separately… perhaps the single version of ‘She’s Lost Control’ since Stephen used a can of aerosol spray on the percussion track?
    Ceremony would also be good!
    Great video as always!

    I know what the "trick" you're looking for is, and it's super amusing to watch someone try to figure it out. Single piece of very affordable, highly available gear that handles both the width and the distortion. And it's done in tracking, not in the mix. I've been doing it for 19 years. Listen to the tracks "Marry Me" and "Your Lips Are Red" by St. Vincent. Same process.

  • @PhatLvis
    @PhatLvis 10 місяців тому +1

    Odd to think of a drum sound from Drummer's Perspective. Albini does this too. No drums in any song sound like "you're sitting behind the kit." Also seems an odd goal, as a producer, as the rest of the mix isn't presented as "what the drummer would be hearning."
    A proper drum sound - if it must be visualized as being in space (as opposed to the Abstract shapes/forms most people see in their minds, synesthetically) - would seem best represented as being sort of Behind the other instruments, perhaps in the manner one usually sees bands on-stage from an audience perspective.
    That said, these folks once again got a great sound. So more power to Noam; Telefunken into another Telefunken is bold, as is the choice of 421. Very good work (even the distorted synth).

    Tonally close but overall feels a little too dry. That first fill in the song definitely has some space. But I do appreciate seeing your process in trying to deconstruct these sounds. That's really where the value is here, not whether it ends up exactly the same or not (though sometimes it's damn close!)

    It would be really helpful if yall spent a little time detailing the drum tuning/muffling techniques as that is just as important as mic and mixing techniques. This only really gives us half of the pieces to the puzzle.

    I don't understand why you never tell us which head you use. Drumheads make 80% of the sounds. On the bass is that a Remo Powerstroke 3 Coated Dot? And is the bassdrum 22" or 20"? More details please...
