COLD SNAP RECORDING


This was a difficult recording as I had a very short deadline, which was given to me by the record label. This recording is set to be release on a 7" on Dead and Gone Records, with a release date in early June.

  • Edited drum tracks so were constant in tempo as I refused to record to a click to help song flow and drummer comfort.
  • went on to enhance bass drum using an edited version of the original. Also used a medium plate reverb on drums to get that trade mark New York drum sound.
  • Bass was recorded using a sans amp pedal to give that signature No Warning/Terror presence.
  • I used a Marshall JCM 2000 and 900 to get an authentic Hardcore tone.
  • Vocals were recorded over 2 sessions as vocalist lost his voice mid way through the first session, Therefor having to make voice sound similar on the next session as punk/hardcore vocals can change over time.
