This was recorded live at a gig back in January. It was my first live recording since 1976 or so. The band is "Nasty Habits", from Vero Beach, Fl., a 3 piece blues/rock band. I used a total of 9 inputs for the recording. Since the BG singer didn't take part in this song, only 8 inputs were used on this particular song. The singer was all over the place near and far on the mic and it took a lot of work to get his levels close to even through the song (although it was easy compared to what it would have been in 1976). I made a few compromises due to lack of enough mics. I used an AKG Perception 220 between the snare and one tom. Another AKG Perception 220 was used on the other side between the other two toms. I would have liked to mic them all individually. Kick mic was an EV ND868. The two overheads were MXL 903's. Vocal mic was supplied by the band and I don't recall what it was. Bass was direct (balanced out from the bass player's preamp). Guitar amp was mic'd with an MXL 2003 large diaphram condenser. Did I overdo the slapback on the vocal? Other comments or suggestions?
