Pawn Takes Pawn

Guitar Cab in the Bathroom -

...pointed away from the tub, sorta at an angle towards the wall under the sink. close mic'd with some AudioTechnica 625 "bargain" model. I call it an At-yellow. supposed to be close to a 57(and i guess the dude who sold it to the dude who gave it to me said he liked it better than a 57...not me though..). huh. the amp is a little fender combo thing. it sounded
good nice-n-loud.

the bass is a peavy combo amp. one big 15. very 80's looking. sounds like a bass though, used an at "Hi-energy" mic. this i call the at-red.(its got a red band around it.) pushed that mic right up at the speaker cone. the bass sound was fun. we put it in the bedroom, next to the bed with a blanket covering it a little. (oh! we had a blanket covering the kick drum too, now that i think of it. keeps that snare and stuff out of there..)

So we got our basic tracks all set up. each song we had to tweak the amps here and there, cuz they used different pedals sometimes, but i think we got some good tones.

The fun part was the snake. i havent had the chance to use a snake for
recording before, so this was a great oppurunity. ran the snake all the way to the back of the Appt where i set up all my stuff.

the 488(8 track, NOT the 488 mkII..), the two little mixing boards (one for the drums, one for the gutiars and talk back) the compressor, the ffx, and these cheapo little computer monitors. i didnt end up usin' them too much, just my headphones.

So after we got all the songs recorded (which was 5) and were happy with those takes and such, we moved on to the overdubs.......
