If you've ever tried (and failed) to get that impossibly punchy Metallica Black Album kick sound, have I got a discovery for you! Metallica recently released a huge document dump on their website in conjunction with the Load Super Deluxe Box Set. These had a bunch of tracking sheets and studio notes that show the exact microphones used, precise mic positioning (down to 1/8"), and the HARDWARE they used, and in which order they place them in the chain. It's also something you can definitely use during mixdown to create THAT sound. If this is something that interests you, I made a short video about it. Have a great day!
