How important is production to you?
Production is very important to your music. The production is cataclysmic
in your final product. The word production also is suffering from scutiny right now..(its under review)
Two things I learned from going in a studio. #1 You have to be twice as hardcore to sound half as hardcore if thats makes sense. I always thought
some bands sound lame. But it is difficult emotionally to sound heavy or loud. I have no idea how SY recorded a track like Brother James...
Second, the mix is so crucial and you might want to get another person to mix as opposed to recording. Mixing is where the magic happens. It is the playing of each track off of each other to make something happen.
Third, know what you want to do in the studio or in someones recording shop. Don't go in with half-formed ideas unless you have someone footing your bill. Since there are so many guys recording pay for them to do the recording and you focus on your material...
Derek, Don't buy things like a noise gate or even rent a bass if possible. I know you can do that here and it makes a world of difference..
Sadly, big coin buys big toys and this is really evident in recording...
