OK, wtf, I'll post this tune here. I dug it out a while ago for a thread in the guitar forum and I remembered this topic and thought it might be a good illustration of a "quasi old-school" sound using modern equipment.
I did this as a demo, we were setting up my friend's band for an album we were cutting and secided to cut some covers for a booking demo while we were tweaking and testing stuff.
It's been a couple years, so let me se if I can remember the recording setup. Two guitar amps, a sound city and marshall, one in the closet and one in the booth, 57 on the marshall, beta57 on the SC, both close miked. $ mics on drums,d112 in the kick, a pair of Alesis GT AM 52s overhead and I'll be damned if I can remember what was on the snare, but there were just 4 drum mics running through my sidecar mixer which is a mackie 1202, the old pre-vlz model
Everything else was through my Yamaha RM-800 24x8 mixer. Bass was through an
SWR interstellar overdrive (stella), I think the vocal was a Beta57 too. Recorded to 8 tracks of type II (20 bit) ADAT.
Hell, that;s all I can remember as far as setup. I never really finished mixing it since it was just for demo, I think the lead vocal is too loud but here goes....
