syntax
exactly that, mixing and guitars are stunning.
Tape op? is that another webstie?
Yes i noticed the amount of reverb all over In rainbows.
The secong guitar that comes in, if you completely shut down that side of the stereo mix, it sounds
alot better. Ive actually opened the wav form in an audio editor and made a mono file of the right channel
(the main intro guitar)....try it.....trust me......this is what i listen to if i want to hear arpeggi...
mix is cleaned up...unclutterd...just the main guitar arpeggio...only thing lacking is the ending...but you
can still feel the tension/darkness...in a diff light...equally powerful.
very well articulated Mr/Mrs Syntax...
No comment on the compression? Its compressed to F**k...and limited up the a**. Agree?
We should meet for a guiness because we would have a great conversation/discussin about this song...
bass = compressed = controlled
15 step bass production = man...is that controlled with compression or what?? its like someone with giant hands is choke holding that bass line down...
I feel the mix is slightly harsh sounding in the middle to end.
I have a stereo extracted mix (?) , where something is taken out, and all you hear is certain elements.
You gotta hear it. PM me if you want. You clearly hear the pre delay reverb etc effects all over the place.
Man, listening to what you say, I need to re-analyse that song.
For me there are these versions:
1) ether version (thom and jonny classical)
2) acoustic thom and jonny
3) early live rock version on tour (coupla variations)
4) final rock version (more like the studio version)
Surprised the outro picking pattern was not more prominant. Very surprised.
Nigels greatest skill may be mixing.
Also his input on Kid A working methods.
ie splitting them up, teaching them logic and software stuff, sythns,
samplling, beat programming etc etc. That was all nigels doing i believe.
Unless thom was already into that way of working or if nigel just showed
him the tools and methods.
