FAQ
What drums and cymbals do you own?
I own a selection of snare drums out of which the top 3 used are: Gretsch Bell Brass, Ludwig Supraphonic and Sonor Artist CW. I have 6 hihats, 6 rides, 9 crashes, 2 stacks, 2 chinas, 2 splashes (many brands; Zildjian, Paiste, Meinl, etc...) My main drum kit is Sonor Sq1.
What digital hardware do you own in order to transfer from Analog to Digital realm?
I own an RME UFX III interface, paired with a FerroFish MADI converter. This gives me a capability of recording up to 36 simultaneous drum (or other) tracks.
What is your preffered sample rate for tracking?
96kHz 24 bit. This is the only way I track drums. If we continue our business in the mixing realm as well, I will upsample your tracks if needed. But I prefer that your tracks are recorded at the same 96kHz/24bit setup.
Do you mix and send your drum recordings in a stereo file?
If you just want a stereo drumfile for your needs, you've probably come to the wrong place. It is unacceptable from the professional-audio standpoint that drums (and songs) are mixed without sidechaining, bus compressing, parallel compressing etc. I would prefer to do a full blown mix of your song.
Can you tell me a little bit more about your FX Tracks/Stems?
The Track FX, for example the Snare FX track, is a track recorded in a way that post-preamp the snare signal is split. One part goes directly into the interface as a DRY signal, while the other split is sent to high quality outboard gear (Compressor, EQ, etc) which is then processed analogue-ly.
If I want your outboard FX to really put "some heat" on the FX tracks, is there enough headroom on the way into the converters?
Yes. I have specifically bought a converter for this purpose, Ferrofish Pulse 16MX MADI +24dBu. Unlike standard intefaces with headroom up to 19 or 20dBu, this Ferrofish converter is built specifically for the purpose of handling hotter analog signals, such as this kind of workflow of recording.
Can you please elaborate on your workflow when it comes to the Basic offer?
You send me a track of your song, preferably without drums and with a click, I record drums with it (dry with analog FX) and send you this as an idea. If you think this is something you can work with further more, you make the payment and then we go through another (up to) 5 revisions.
Can you define what your revisions are?
In tracking (basic offer) you have 5 revisions after you made the payment. We can change everything, from a snare type, to changing beats in parts of the songs, or change the cymbals, etc. In the mixing stage, the 5 revisions are tied only to the mixing decisions and how the mix or the tracks sound.
What is the difference between your mix and master?
Mixing: You get a stereo file song that has enough headroom, so you can take this safely to a mastering engineer (either myself or someone else) so the song can be finalized.. Mastering: includes a combination of analog re-amping, compression and analog EQ, PLUS ITB extensive library of hq plugins.
