VOL 4 


Sunday consisted of Noahs bagels for breakfast,
and VOL 4 for lunch.

I used my same setup for drums. kick akg d112, snare sm57, toms oktava
mk-219's and my new favorite a sony stereo condenser mic as a room
mic. had to use the directouts on this old ass peavey mixer i have
layin around, but that worked out perfect.

snare and kick, i was able to dial in without any questions. kick was
placed all the way in, a little off center. i trimed off some low end,
and boosted the highs a little, and the snare was just turn it up and
go with it. we tuned Finians snare a little, but he didnt want the pop
sound as much, so we backed the snares off a little to give it some
rattle that he liked.

but my biggest problem was the toms. they just didnt sound as good. i
backed the mics off them a little, tried side miking, but i just
overall wasnt happy with the sound. maybe for a kit like his(which was
fine, just need some pro-tuning or somthing) miking the toms from the
inside? or maybe different mics. i wonder what 57s wouldve sounded
like on his kit.

i eventualy got them where i was ok, and moreso finian liked em enough
to move on.

the bass guitar, i had fun with. i even went a little crazy.
close mic, red at HINRG mic(i should get the number off that thing),
i tried a MS stereo technique with two yellow at(57clone) mics about 4
feet back up on the counter for a stereo spread, and then a direct
line off the amp(setting set to PRE and the level at 12oclock) into a
tube pre thing (its one of those "for that tube sound", but basicly
you "blend" in some tube "warmth", so not a real tube pre, but sorta)
tube mp maybe? anyways i used the pad, and flipped the phase on pre.
that channel sounded pretty nice, in fact i finally got that pre to be
usefull.

so i sent those tracks to 1,2 and the drums to 3,4.
everything was fine, we ran through the song a couple of times, and
then proceeded to some over dubs...

comments are coming soon, i think....
