yes...yes..yes.
binaural was a GREAT sounding pj record....i happen to love all their albums...but that one had mr tchad blakes stamp on it. i particulary like the track "of the girl"...i am quite sure that the binaural head was used for the main guitar....the space on it is insane...particularly on nice headphones.
i've heard from several friends who have worked with tchad that the neumann binaural head "fritz" is used for the main drum sound with other mics filling in the "holes".
a friend of mine recorded at real world with him on a rock record...APT 26 was the band...i think they are all gone now...their record was released with mixes by chris lord alge...but the tchad stuff sounds so MUCH BETTER !!! the sounds on the drums are INSANE. from all accounts tchad has his own strange methodology he has come up with over the years...and it seems to work for him quite well.
matt bayles, who engineered binaural...along with alot of other pj discs has posted here on gear slutz occassionally. i will email him and see if he would have the time to share a bit on the making of binaural. i really like the drum sounds on that album as well...though i think what adam kaspar got on the newest album are unREAL !!! with matt cameron hitting the skins....it's probably a bit easier to get killer tones.
if you have not...check out some of the stuff matt has worked on...he is a fantastic producer/engineer...and a really nice dude..he recently has worked with mastodon and isis....he gets some insane drum and guitar tones.
