Matt, your drumming comes from deep and you are a real human being I love ur work and philosophy. I will always remember the first time I listened to Grace and the complementation of your drumming. Thank you for sharing your technique and for the people who made this possible for me to check out! Play this loud and elevate!
Really nice clip! Thank you for using Ribbon Mics! (The only Real microphones!) Tricky keeping the exaggerated highs from condensers from masking the natural highs of ribbons but with NEVE modules you have a head-start in keeping the highs sweet at least. I've had some stellar results with RCA Varicoustic ribbons on the overheads, RCA 5bs on the snare, hat and rack-toms, RCA 44 floor tom and on the kick! But I also prefer the minimum-mics concepts as well.
Can you all explain how you mixed these channels to get the stereo image? I heard the overhead off to the right. It seemed like the distant fok mic was on the left at moments and centered in some moments. Thanks for the video!
I'm new to 500 series, can you explain the routing of mics into preamps and then to the two channel interface? Wanna understand how that works. Thanks!
Very nice. saw St Vincent in Amsterdam a few years ago. Brilliant. Never tried ribbons as over/ambient mics. Very curious about the X1D as a bass drum mic. Sounds really good here. BUT, the room you're in is gorgeous. Where is it?
Could someone explain in more detail whats happening here? Are 2 511s going into one 517, then the other 2 511s going into the other 517? This seems a bit crazy if so, why not go straight into the interface? Also why 6 542s if theres only 4 mics? Presumably the mics are hitting the 542s on the way in then again before the 517s? Sorry! I just dont really understand the set up. Also i hate to say it but im not a fan of that snare bottom mic by the kick drum, ever since i did a session where no snare top was used i cant stand a rattley snare bottom mic in place of a proper top mic😅 Love matts work on grace! All time fav
I don't understand why the distant mics have such a wide stereo image when they've been summed to one mono output from the 517 preamp. . When the two signals are blended together, they should like they're dead center but instead they have a wide stereo image. Can anyone explain why the distant mics sound like this?
Hi have an Ayotte KiIplinger Snare which gets a super fat sound like this when tuned. Just google Keplinger. I highly recommend them. You can get a Very thick sound from them
They are all 500-Series modules. 511 is mic preamp, 517 is mic preamp with DI and compressor, 542 is tape saturation. More details on our website! rupertneve.com/ranges/500-series/
Undoubtably a nice sound. But the premise of low budget recording? OK you can use a two channel interface and cheap but then you're spending what - $5K on outboard gear? And you get a nice sound but you have less mixing options. Plus you're in a professionally designed acoustic space to start with which most people on a budget are not. Plus I'm sure the kit isn't budget gear and the tones you're capturing. Am I missing something here?
Probably the most underrated drummer out there.
Came here just to say exactly this.
Your sound and fills in grace are completely legendary man!the fills in lover you should have come over are insane
what an incredible drummer! gosh so much detail in his playing

What a lovely feel and groove, Matt. You’ve become a Master at your Craft.
Really nice clip!

Fenomenal drummer
Sounds good
nice!
What panning was done on the channels? I was hearing quite a difference switching from stereo to mono.

La genialidad de la simpleza
That’s nice
that sound. oh that sound.

Thanks, we thought those sE mics sounded great in there too! The room is wonderful - it's The Bunker, located in Brooklyn NY: www.thebunkerstudio.com
Has that old "Power station" vibe. Very nice!

Which snare is that??? Please reply :)
not sure actually
Subu Nomo Looks like a Keplinger
Pretty sure that is a Keplinger Black Iron.

That ride reminds me of a 70s trash can lid I used to own.
8 grand on neve gear i think you could afford an 8 in instead of getting by with the 2!
side note- it always helps to use god's snare.
Are 5xxs mic pre amps? Microphones? I am forced to assume, since there is no noun in the description.

Miss the hair...he did great work with Jeff....
midtown uniform!?
Spud from Trainspotting...
I love the concept and spirit of recording that way and i love the drumming a lot! But i don't dig the sound at all.
Me either, sounds harsh.. Bring the 1073s

great story but snare sounds like a fart.. listen to seventies dub reggae, and funk then retry.
shellamie hunter its almost as if people have different opinions, and like different sounds. Crazy right?
I agree, I totally hated that snare sound, to each their own I guess.
@@chadm4976 It sounded like an aluminum roasting pan.
