Sure, no problem... I appreciate the kind words. The band is indeed good and it's right up my alley... this song is a sung vocal number, but some of their other stuff is rapped. Not as cool IMO, but still has a good groove. Here's some signal chain info:
All tracks are going into PT Mix+ through 888's... I really want some Apogee stuff soon.
Kick 1: RE20 inside>API 3124>API graphic EQ
Kick 2: Royer R-121>API 3124... outside about 3 feet angled down... lots of bleed this way, but really fat sounding. I just bought a Soundelux U-195 that I plan to use in this application for the next session if it's here on time.
Snare Top: SM-57>API 3124>API graphic EQ
Snare Bottom: Beta-56>API 3124... not my favorite mic, but the only one I had left.
Rack and Floor Toms: 421's>API 3124
OH's: Gefell m930's>Great River MP-2NV
Room: Brauner Valvet in omni>API 3124
The following are mostly scratch tracks due to mistakes and the fact that I think I can get better tones with more time and experimentation, but here's the chain:
Bass: Aguilar DB 680 tube preamp direct into PT
Rhodes: Speakeasy Vintage Music Dyno Pre into Avalon U5 direct into PT (the Speakeasy is a fantastic pre for Rhodes)
Guitar: going straight into my original Blackface '65 Twin with 57 on it
I was going to either do two room mics, or a hi-hat mic, but about a day before the session, the op-amp in channel four of one of my 3124's went out... bad timing, but I think I made due alright. If anyone has ANY constructive criticism at all, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm aware that it's not very enjoyable to listen to being so rough, and I would have mixed it a little, but I figured what was the point right now... if I get a second tonight, I'll go back and tweak the levels a little bit and bring up the overall level. I'll be sure to post some of the finished product as it moves along. Thanks.
By the way, any other pre's you'll might recommend to compliment my API and Great River stuff... I'd like to get a multi-channel... the Daking is very reasonable and they're stuff sounds great. I'm open to any suggestions.
