Hidden track on Tipping Point

Hey Russell,

Thanks for being here to give us some cool insight. Anyway I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about the mix on the drums for the hidden track on Tipping Point. One of the things I am most curious about is the reverb. How much was room and how much outboard? Could you elaborate on the anything applied in the mix.

The other part is... I love the sound of the bass. do you recall what kind of things were going on in the mix(and tracking if you know) as far as the bass went?

Thanks!
Rudy

hello rudy,

that hidden track is edited from 3 different songs. i mixed the last 2. the one with dave chappelle and din da da.

din da da was all done in 1 day, tracked in about 3 hours and mixed the same day. i dont remember what we used on the bass though. i know it was some sort of synth, like a moog or something. i had a lot of fun mixing that one.

all the reverbs you hear are emt plates. i used 2, one on the left and right. i think for the flanging i used a love tone flanger call "?" or one of the mxr rack mount flangers. i really tried to go for that really big drum reverb like you hear on the old records. and i was thinking eddie kramer. i panned the toms on one side and the rest of the kit on the other and had different compression, eq and fx for each. this gave much a huge stereo effect.

and the drums on the slower part for the very end was another completely different processing. i really don't recall what i did with the drums as far as compression but i can hear my mxr phaser (rack mount) on the drums.

i'll be starting a thread on mixing for ahmir and the roots. i'll give you a heads up when i do.

cheers
