the list has reasoning behind it
1. Jesus (because he taught humility and love)
2. Les Paul (because he is the complete musician, producer and recoding innovator)
3. Butch Vig (because he is the complete "producer, who plays drums"...)
mix the 3 and that's what I strive to be...
a humble producer that is uncompromising about recording technology and plays drums well (to backing tracks, which as you know, can be quite a chore)
lofty goals? why not set the bar high?
thanks for answering the question about Parade...I am assuming the electric guitar was a clean tele or strat? (or something made out of korina wood)...maybe through a DI?? just to spanky and crisp to be a mushy tube amp...maybe the sampler lends some to the attack? (lot's of maybe's eh?)
wow I can see where my plethora of questions would overwhelm...I will try to not be selfish and keep them short
on that note I have one more simple question about drums...
when you play to backing tracks (that are sequencer generated) what do you try to focus on, to keep the live drums from swinging too much? the song or the click...I have been doing this for years now, and managed to program a song (recently) with a very overt lilt (150% swing) and it's been a bear to play to....it swings so hard that the duple actually feels straight (oops)...any advice would be greatly appreciated...
