| As a producer alwsys in the role working double as engineer, Marty Munsch would use many different ideas, that involved heavy ambush style type techniques that would range from antiquated to archaic. His insistence on equipment and microphone placement scenarios would drive both engineers and musicians to the brink and sometimes physical exhaustion. He would ultimately achieve his out of the ordinary analogue sounds and overall coloring of his productions exactly as he needed. Some involved, some very basic. For instance; an entire three flights of stairs, in an old telephone switching office building. Noted for solid reflective terrazzo flooring, this echo and delay effect overlapped naturally, akin to room to room convolution, due to many rooms that were on lower floors, used as powerful reflective reverb and delay. This was projected by mid sized guitar amplifiers and later captured and blended into the mix, although involved and time consuming, it made it's mark. It was a very archaic science. This couldn't be found even with the top shelf, modern and very expensive Lexicon or metal plate type reverb units. Sometimes even building his own condenser mics, from torn down parts that would be used and destroyed, during one session. Dynamic mics, Boundary Mics, Shotgun Mics, Bass Mics and Multi-Pattern Mics. Even using worn out wrapped Ribbon mics for heavy underside drum frequencies. Double mic on certain top and bottom patterns were exclusive. Munch was fond of <ref>{{cite web |last1=SVT |first1=AMPEG |title=Super Valve Technology |url=https://ampeg.com/products/classic/svtvr/ |website=ampeg.com}}</ref> head and 8x10 coffin combo and often used kick drum mics with AKG 414-C doubled up with Rolled off high and mid frequencys, to catch the low wavelength rattle and distortion that one combined to cause third and fourth harmonics. | |||
| Munsch appears in the 2008 film ''All Grown Up: The Movie'' by Andrea Witting.<ref name="allgrownup">{{Cite web |last=Boudreau |first=Mark |date=2007-09-20 |title=A Preview of the Upcoming Film "All Grown Up" |url=http://rockandrollreport.com/a-preview-of-the-upcoming-film-all-grown-up/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130140851/http://rockandrollreport.com/a-preview-of-the-upcoming-film-all-grown-up/ |archive-date=2020-11-30 |website=The Rock and Roll Report}}</ref> | |||
| Being committed, and very obsessed with very fine tuned drum kits, instruments and transport deck calibrations. This employed extremely tight titanium snares, these were tightened to breaking limits and snare wires were literally duct tapped with gelatin to the bottom and top heads to obtain distinct drum kit sounds on 1960's era "Slingerland Sparkle", Pearl, and Ludwig. While other kit types that have very unique applications were stripped down do the bare minimum that were used abnormally, to gain highly accurate and drummer playability. Influenced by Keith Moons quick cat like machine gun snares, ] and ] style mic placement and much influence, were very evident takeaways from his style of microphone rigging. Often saying ], had a lazed style with the Beatles although they were massive in sales history, they had a horrible sound. Touting that ], was the ] key, to their entire career success. Then, to go on about "You are either fond of ] or fanatics about the Rolling Stones; because the Beatles just suck and are mediocre at best". While working on the infamous ECA single, with Violnet Society and engineer Scott Stedford, in a typical run down cramped basement, the session was impromptu. Reduced to 1/2 inch reels and very limited mixing desk and outboard equipment, 8 track Tascam equipment. An old mattress, was used to dampen the drum room standing bass waves, 8 and 5 kHz. A simple cardboard box was placed in-betweento to tune the speaker and actually "aim" sound at the SM48 microphone from the guitar amplifiers speaker. Bass was Direct signal, AKG C-414 and 2 Sure SM58, Electro Voice bass drum mic and a beat up Electro Voice overhead mic. The single was released and sold multiple pressings and is considered iconic. | |||
