47. "RE: Start with what you're sampling first" In response to In response to 46
The compression on Donuts is insane. Makes the album spooky and claustrophobic IMO ... which is just sheer genius because most engineers would turn their nose up at such a narrow dynamic range. Would sound like sh!t on most records but somehow works perfectly.
And +1 on paying attention to your source material. EQ first then lift the sample. If you do it right, will bump even if you record it to 4trk Tascam cassette.
