Quint: the room i used had 15' ceilings, and was about 20' by 30'. The one irritating thing about it is that it was designed in the 80's so it is as dead as can be. It has sound panels/bass traps covering 80% of the ceiling, defusers on every wall and carpeted floors, so I just decided to go for the super dead drum sound.
I don't have much in the way of cool plugins, so I ended up just using the Digi- D Verb on all the vocals (comes free with protools). I used the compressor on the ACP 88 very lightly on the drums as I was tracking (i'm very familiar with that comp, otherwise I would not compress during tracking), as well as the comp on my LA6-10 for the vocals. But other than those instances, the mix was completely ITB.
The plugin comps I used were: Massey CT4 for extra compression on vox. the digirack compresson/limiter on snare bottom, OH's, and ac-guitars. joemeek sc2 on kick.
the only delay in the mix was a little bit of the digirack mod delay II.
I also threw the massey tape head on the ac-guitars, kinda gave it a cool texture, real nice mids.
Anyway, thanks again for all the feed back! And by all means, keep it coming!

Your description of your room explains a lot. Too bad it's that dry but, honestly, whatever artificial reverb you're using is getting the job done admirably. By the way, I agree with a previous posters observation of the MMJ type vocal reverb. I like how your vocal reverb sounds a lot and would only maybe change minor things. Even if left as is, I think this sounds quite good. Like I said, it reminds me a lot of Ryan Adam's "Cold Roses". Great vibe regardless of how it was done, especially now that I've been able to listen to it a few more times. Just for shits and giggles it would be interesting to hear just the naked drum tracks by themselves.
By the way, is this your band or someone you recorded?
