RATM Recording Links and Thoughts

"Evil Empire" studio photo taken in Cole's Rehersal- "The pic in the cover makes the room look big" paraphrasing engineer Nick Didia

 I did a recording session the other day and the band wanted to cut everything, vocals, drums, and guitars with no over dubs.  I never got the vocals to sound correct, but the following links give some good info on how Evil Empire was recorded in the same manner.  These links
helped me figure out how to recorded it, how to mix it, and how to do it better next time.  If you got guys that are as good as RATM, then you can cut an album this way.
