FRENCHMEN

Well the recording session went off without problems, mostly.

Again we put up the drums in the living room.
kick akgd112
snare top sm57
snare bottom beta sm56
rtom sm57
ftom sm57
overhead rode nt-4
hihats akg c1000
we bussed the kick and snare to individual tracks on the adat.
then we bussed the racktom, and left over head to tk3, and the ftom and right overhead to tk4. hihats went to track 5, we werent sure if we were going to like the sound of them during mixing, so we gave it its own track.

we got the drum sounds by a different method that im used to, but it worked rather well. first, solo the drum and get your level. then we had Charles play the whole set, but we were still soloing the mic, to hear the bleed. we did that mainly for the kick/snare/tom gates. the kick needed some compression too. we did that for each channel(mic) solo it out, then listen to the whole kit. After all of that we had Charles go and play again, but this time all the mics were up so we could hear and make a decent mix for the headphones.

We set up the two guitar amps in the kitchen, facing away from each other, and the bass guitar all the way in the back bedroom. The over all sound was pretty good, and the seperation wasnt all that bad.

Spent some time getting the right headphone mixes to everyone and after about 4 hours all together we were up and running. we will be doing the vocals out at dig-doug studios within the next few weeks.

PETS are coming over tonight to finish everything up and prepare for final mixing. Hopefully i can get some pics up soon.
