This is a great song, and as it was recorded pretty much live in the studio I tried to keep the sound fairly natural and unprocessed... I used eq and compression to tidy things up a little, and added a touch of reverb.
I didn't use all of the drum mics, only bass drum, snare, overheads, and the stereo room mic. (In general I'm not a big fan of close mics on drums!)
The double bass was a bit tricky on this song - the mics are pretty boomy and have a lot of drum bleed. I had to eq them pretty drastically to get any clarity! I know there's the DI too, but I wanted to use the mics if possible...
I thought the vocal shold be fairly upfront so there's some automation on this as the song gets progressively louder.
I'd be interested in any opinions!
