Am I the only one that thinks he sounds like Roy Orbison meets Neil Young?
Oooo.. someone wants to talk gear
hmm, Roy and Neil eh ?
well, this singer certainly wouldn't win any prizes on 'The Voice'
and.. much like Neil young though, this a special voice with a certain character, and I can certainly dig that..
Roy on the other hand..
he was a very technical singer with some voice chops.
so back to mix/gear,
I started the mix in ProTools.. my kick and snare have the DigiDesign noise gate plug on em'.. and I'm also using the API EQ plug on both as well for a little extra bite.
I'm also using some Waves L1 plugins to tame the dynamics a bit
after that,
I'm running through a Tascam MX-2424 as the D/A converter.
Summing through a 24-channel DDA CS8 analog console
Kick - 1176 (slowest attack and quickest release 12:1 ratio)
Snare - 1176 (slowest attack and quickest release 12:1 ratio)
Stereo overhead - Aural Exciter (only 'big bottom' is active)
Bass - TOA CL-021 (amazing on bass)
Lead vox - dbx 266 (these are cheap, but work on vocals)
Time based effect:
Roland SDE-3000 feeding an AKG BX10 spring reverb
and.. I caputre my board mix with a Tascam DR-60D at 24bit/96kHz
and I import the track into my PC and master it with Adobe Audition
It's quite a procedure.. but I always dig the results
when I mix live.. for the love of gawd ! give me a digital console with an iPad.
