That 'led zeppelin' sound
I heard one classic sound was a Telecaster through a really small Fender
tube amp in a big ass room with lots of mics- close- behind- far- etc.- and got this huge sound- no LP- no Marshall- hehe- gotta love the spirit of creative experimentation in this buisness- gives me hope and inspiration regularly.

I understand their micing was very basic. yet the sound is just amazing to me. thanks The mics were like 2x U-67's and an AKG D-20 or 25 or 30 if I remember the legends correctly... but it matters not. The mics were the least of the process... the rooms played a huge factor, the tuning of the drums [kind of "jazz" tunings] were even more important but all of these factors still pale in comparison to the most major factor of the LZ drum sound: John Bonham. Yeah, it's not too tough to put some slap on the snare... it's not too tough to tune the drums right... it's definitely a walk in the park to book a good sounding room and throw up some microphones... but unless you have some mother****er of an operator... one that can sit in the pocket while doing **** like laying down a 'second line' groove with the foot while fitting the snare in on the back edge of the beat while staying perfectly in time with snare slap... you're screwed. -- Fletcher Mercenary Audio TEL: 508-543-0069 FAX: 508-543-9670 http://www.mercenary.com "this is not a problem" |

selection varied according to engineer. P h i l i p ______________________________ "I'm too ****ing busy and vice-versa" - Dorothy Parker |

Today I think the question would be "what plug-in gets that sound?" It's funny how on an audio newsgroup dedicated to production techniques, gear, etc., the obvious fact of the talent needs to be pointed out. Whereas, on a fan site they'd just be talking about how cool the parts are, rather than what mic was on the bass drum. Not that I don't want to know but sheesh, if you had half that talent playing in your room, you could put up just about any mics and it'd sound good. It's a shoo-in. Tom |

I've heard some bootlegs of Led Zeppelin in the studio for the
Physical Graffiti sessions. You can hear them running through songs such as "In My Time of Dying" and others. Through it all, they sound great. I don't know what it was recorded on exactly, but it sounds like it's simply a microphone in the room. Bonham *still* sounds great. So much of it was obviously about the players, the songs, the arrangements, the finesse, everything. It is interesting to know what was used to record these guys, but if you put up the exact same mics around the exact same equipment but had four different guys playing it, it just wouldn't sound like them. wrote in message . com... david wrote in message ...
