Howyadoin,
Here's a track I recorded for a local folk trio's demo. Pretty basic gear; AT3035 for vocals, guitars (Taylor and Yamaha) straight in using on-board preamps, all going to the Alesis Studio 24, Delta 1010 downstream of that, running Cubase SX 1.02. Laid in some bass and Wurlitzer piano in the choruses, real subtle stuff. Backing vocals were dubbed in.
Anything glaringly bad? I had a hard time getting the vocal levels where I wanted them, and as it turned out the singer wanted me to push the harmonies back into the mix. This mix was from before I did that, cause I think the harmonies are necessary to help fill out the sound in this track...
I like the stark reverb on the vocal in the first verse, since the first line talks about an empty house, and you kinda get that reverb of walls that have been stripped bare. As the chorus starts, the backing vocals were sung so well it's a damn shame to hide them. The Wurli gives a soft pad, nothing fancy...
I'd really appreciate any input!
