Daily Noize 7.11.10 – PZM Wedge test

Posted Jul.11, 2010 under Daily Noize, Hardware

I scored myself  a pair of original Wahrenbrock PZM Microphones. I have never used or really known of them until recently. I’m amazed there not more of a studio standard. I built a “Wedge”  for them over the weekend. You can learn more about that Via – This.

I can’t wait to use them as tracking room mics.

No EQ raw mic output.

Compaholic part 2.

Posted Apr.24, 2010 under Hardware

I’ve induced 3 others I recorded for test purposes. (Prophet 08 , Udu, &  Tabla.)

I record a lot of hard percussion, Udu & Tabla are the hardest to get to sit in a mix. They have very FAST attack with sustain at times. It’s hard to get both to translate. Anyways I recorded some BS perc noodling to see how the OS would handle them.. I’m impressed. Checkout the end of the Udu test, The low doom sounds have a nice harmonic/grit added to them from the OS.

Hello, my name is Eric, and I’m an Compaholic.

Posted Apr.22, 2010 under Hardware

I just acquired two OverStayer “OS” stereo FET compressors. Being the drummer I am these are a dream come true. I’ve only dipped my hand in the pool with these guys but my 1st impression is “damn thats nice”.

As a test I let my Flame clockwork & Moog voyager run random & got behind the drum kit to play along. I stuck one OS on the drum bus, & one on the Moog bus. The drum bus OS  really brings out some resonance & glued punch to the kit. The other added some nice dirt/body to the synth. I’ll share more “analytical” thoughts/test files shortly once i’m off my gear high, but all in all these things just sound great & have a feature set I’ve been needing for some time now.  Highly recommend.

Audio Examples. (FYI – Lowend/Sub is a bit out of control)

Ratting up that drum bus. (Drum distortion)

Posted Apr.19, 2010 under Hardware, Ticks, Tips, & Tricks

I’m a fan of over the top drum sounds. Sometimes full on distortion is what a track calls for. One of my favorite tools for this is the RAT Deucetone. (as the clueless guitar snob salesman called it “douchetone”). I enjoy the power of analog distortion. It’s a great duel input distortion stompbox that is just begging to be used on a bus insert.
