MANY years ago I engineered a song for a band with the same philosophy. The song and the story behind it is here: That's What I Said by Richard King on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free. Take a look, you may change your mind. I'm only leaving it up for 24 hours, so...

I still have my old University of Minnesota ID from 1967 around here somewhere. Would that work? ;)

Aside from the lyrics, this is a cross between Phil Spector and Jeff Lynn, except funnier.

I use a Presonus Firestudio and a Presonus Digimax FS to allow me to record up to 16 tracks at one time. I also have an ART Digital MPA which will provide another two mic inputs via Spdif to the Firestudio, allowing me to go to 18 inputs. If I need more than that (never have yet) I can run my...

I've been pretty happy with the Firestudio. I do location recording with the Firestudio and a Presonus Digimax FS (same pre's) and haven't had anyone mention that the results would be improved with better pre's. All the recent recordings at my Soundcloud site were done with the rig I mentioned...

The guys in the band are all around 25 or so years old and all very talented. When I first approached them about recording I mentioned that I started recording in 1974 or so, to which they responded that none of them were even born yet. ;)

LOL... I can relate. About a year ago I decided that I wanted to be a "recording engineer" when I grow up.... for the second time. I last recorded bands in about 1977 or so, give or take a year. My last recordings were done with a Tascam 80-8 with DBX noise reduction. I'm now starting to get...

Caught me. I even knew that and put the wrong slightly pale brother in there. I'll go fix it on the Soundcloud site. Thanks.

Interesting that you had to turn it up. I've been trying to back off the master compression/limiting a bit when mixing lately, relying on individual channel compression and limiting. It appears that it worked, but maybe I backed off too much. As for the talking during the drum parts, I think...

Frank is from Boynton Beach Florida and his song is done by "The Escape Artist". This Edger Winter cover was recorded LIVE at the Riverside Cafe in Vero Beach, Fl on Saturday Feb 20, 2011. The band features electric violin, guitar, bass and drums. Comments welcome. Frankenstein by Richard...

I could say that it is somethng from Western Electric, but, that would be incorrect. In reality it's an upside down mic by 3M. ;) I suspect it's a dictation mic, something that they made a bunch of.

I haven't had any problems with mics overloading the inputs on my Firestudio or my Digimax FS. I do, however have a dead channel on my Digimax FS. I use them with condenser mics closely recording just about everything, including snare and have never noticed a problem and never used a pad. I...

I put up a slightly modified version that I mixed this AM. It's at the same place: Black Magic Woman by Richard King on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free I backed off the master buss compression/limiting a bit to give a bit more room for things, bumped the snare a bit...

The band is "The Escape Artist". The venue is The Riverside Cafe in Vero Beach, Fl. The band consists of Violin, Guitar, Bass and Drums. Recorded using a Presonus Firestudio and Presonsus Digimax FS into Reaper. A total of 14 channels were used. I mixed it once while VERY tired, listened a...

In fer 2. You have 1 left.

I heard Darling Be Home Soon immediately when I first listened. Great song, but then, I liked alot of the Lovin' Spoonful stuff. Continue with the song though, it has potential and obviously you weren't thinking of the LS song when you wrote it.

Thanks Trumpino. I actually did everything in the box, including the live mix. I used a Presonus Firestudio and a Presonus Digimax FS for preamps. Mics came into the Presonus gear and then out to the computer where they were recorded using Reaper. Additionally, I used Reaper as an interface...

They actually draw a pretty good crowd. They play every Wed. evening at Waldo's in Vero Beach, where this was recorded. The problem is that this was recorded outside. The environment is very tough for catching the crowd. About 6-8' in front of the band platform is a large swimming pool. I...

I posted a song yesterday by the same band, Voodoo, with the singer who covers a majority of their songs. This one features their drummer, Rick Collins on vocals. It's a cover of the old Buffalo Springfield song "Mr. Soul". It was recorded LIVE at a gig on Feb 11, 2011. Enjoy and feel free...

Same band. The video had a different singer (the bass player). This singer sings about 75% of their material (rhythm guitar player). The drummer sings about 10% and the bass the remaining 15% or so. The lead player sticks to what he does best, playing guitar. The harp player was sitting in...
