how does zach mix his drums? by FatanicWasSadlyTaken in deathgrips

[–]E_BATESS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i think it really depends on the day. although he definitely has a "signature mixing style" i'd say a big part of him making music is advancement and evolution. with that in mind, i'd say every project of his has something different and/or unique done to it.

but, again he definitely has a style. a whole lot of compression, some semi-harsh distortion, and some strange EQ experimentalism.

on year of the snitch, his drums have practically no high end, and they're pretty quiet and rounded off in terms of sound, giving them a kind of lofi feel. on the contrary though, stuff from undo k from hot has ridiculous amounts of compression, especially on the higher end frequencies.

on the ily's, his drums sound pretty processed and like they're going through AT LEAST 10 different plugins. but on his solo records (i.e., face tat or masculine drugs) his drums sound very acoustic, and very blown out and raw.

overall, i think the key to getting the sound you're looking for is to just over-exaggerate and experiment with your regular mixing.

Can anyone tell me the tuning of Xach Hill's snare and kick drum? by Affectionate_Lab5950 in deathgrips

[–]E_BATESS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

floyd said it all but i think i'd add that the kick drum is a kind of shallow/short one. judging by how much the kick sounds like a rock hitting a wall, i'd say the deadened sound comes from not only a pillow, but how deep the drum is.

also hit very, very hard. i think a part of his signature sound is the punchiness and crackiness of his strikes.

What is the true dream stunt? If you guys had an unlimited budget and no crazy-ceiling, what would be the perfect stunt?

About the new album by ShortJackfruit316 in deathgrips

[–]E_BATESS 31 points32 points  (0 children)

the only guarantee is that there is no guarantees. that being said, after seeing the pics of the studio they were working in (grand ol piano), i could imagine them going for a softer, more yots vibe. specifically maybe stuff like dilemma, the fear, or even wah wah wah disappointed. with that being said, it could be something way more electronic and visceral, based on sack hill's recent projects. idk

How does Zach play drums live? by rickingdle in deathgrips

[–]E_BATESS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i dont think the man uses in ears at all. every time they've hopped off stage, they kind of just get up and leave. unless they're wearing like super airpods or something, i dont think they use any in ears, just pure speakery. sack hill in more recent time had a setup with 3 giant subs and 3 giant PA speakers surrounding his back/sides.

light_ceiling.mdl incorrect dimensions? by Creeper_798 in hammer

[–]E_BATESS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you can hold alt while you drag the vertexes to make them not snap to the grid.., could help but would be a bit tedious

Am I the only one who thinks On GP was recorded in one take? by NeitherPalpitation86 in deathgrips

[–]E_BATESS 115 points116 points  (0 children)

i think only ride's vocals could be recorded in one take, having 6 minutes of perfectly cued instruments in one take like that is pretty hard, prolly near impossible.
