    if Pinkerton was more successful in 1996 maybe they would've continued in this style

      We wouldn't have gotten Green, but we wouldn't have gotten Pinkerton 2. A very consistent theme with Rivers Cuomo is that he hates doing the same thing. Maladroit is the opposite of Green is the opposite of Pinkerton is the opposite of Blue. OK Human is the opposite of Van Weezer is the opposite of Black is the opposite of White.
      If Pinkerton had been more successful, we probably would have still gotten something like the Green sound, just played less safe and with more emotional lyrics.

      @@TheRenegade... I'm glad someone shares my same take on Weezer. Rivers likes being weird with his songs and experiments a whole lot. No album is consistent with the last, and I find that awesome about them; it's an adventure along River's experiments.

      I don't think so Rivers said that he didn't like the direction they were going by that time and he basically just did it out of depression. If Pinkerton was succesful the band would most likely have a break or just seize to exist

    O Girlfriend could be good this style too. I had thought about doing it myself before.
    Good work! I love the guitar work.
    The drum mixing isn’t quite right but it works well enough.
    The actual Pinkerton drums don’t have that pumpy of compression. They are still compressed and quite distorted too, especially on certain tracks. But the cymbals don’t pump that extreme.
    I would be willing to do a mix of this to get it closer(I’m a mix engineer). Let me know.

    • @EverythingIsPinkerton-lw6qt
      @EverythingIsPinkerton-lw6qt  Před dnem

    @SHMUPS Před 2 dny +1

    make the drum compression way less obvious. i don't remember pumping on pinkerton drums. you can have leveling and distortion without the giveaway compression sound.
    the drum reverb needs to come more from the room mics. if you are using hall or basic room reverbs, its not gonna be right. if your drum app or verb plugin doesn't have good room options, explore other plugins designed to make room reverbs. rVerb from waves was good for this, but i've seen some recent free ones
    watch how much/little high end you end up with, I think you could get closer to pinkerton if you make sure your ears are fresh and you AB your mix against it. And make sure you have a few different speakers to listen on

    • @EverythingIsPinkerton-lw6qt
      @EverythingIsPinkerton-lw6qt  Před 21 hodinou

      I think I get what your saying. I applied the limiter accross the whole drum track, but with my next recording I'm just putting it on the room and it sounds more balanced.
      My hearing is a little messed up from all the concerts and I only own one set of speakers, so I usually end up cranking the high end too much. I'll spend a bit more time ABing for the next one.
