Okay, here it is.
For those of you who don't know....I'm in a joke metal band called "Tablature". We get together, drink alcohol, and record these strange songs. This night was a Budweiser and Jaegermeister night.


The track you want is Chin Omlette.
You will quickly learn why I never could gain employment in the field of Jinglewriting. Long John Silvers will never be the same, and I just hope they don't sue me.

Track 1 - Kick (2 D112's "Y'd" together with an XLR "Y" that I made)
Track 2 - Snare(Beyer M422)
Track 3 -Overheads
Track 4 - Overheads
(MXL 603's about 6' in the air up and behind the drumthrone-aimed at the snare)
Track 5 - Bass guitar
(A MXL2001 in front of a 1x15"/2x10" Carvin speaker boxes. Alembic Tube pre, with 1,500 watts of Carvin power. standard American made Fender Jazz.)
Track 6 - Rhythm Guitar
Track 7 - Overdubbed Lead Guitar
(an EV N/dym157...it's like an SM57... on a 20+ year old tube Fender 1x12" Combo, with a Standard Fender Strat.)
Track 8 - Vocals, windchimes, and cigarette lighter flicking as percussion.
(MXL2001, some cheap outdoor windchimes, and a bic lighter)

Everything was recorded live, in one room to a DA-38. Minimal EQ (The Kick is flat), and just a Behringer Reverb on the vocals and snare.
1 guitar track was overdubbed, and then the vocals, windwhimes, and the flicking cigarette lighter were all recorded at once.
My brother did the lead vocals, and he and the guitarist provided the BG vocals.


I just thought I'd give a rundown of what we used....I just wish my brother hadn't eaten the mic when he did his Deathmetal growl at the begining....proximity effect in action!

Is this one in mono? Sounds rather small for a metal tune...

There are stereo overheads (panned hardleft/right.) and the bass and guitar are panned offcenter just a hair. but other than that, for all intents and purposes, I guess it could best be described as "dual mono" rather than "Stereo".

To me, "true stereo" would require me to dedicate 2 tracks to every single instrument, and record them all separately to provide a clean pair of stereo tracks, and that's just not going to happen.
