"House" ~ recording info.
The track was recorded in 2007 using Logic 5.1 on Windows XP and an ISIS sound card (one of the very early eight channel sound cards). The ISIS was line-level input only, so I used a Behringer SL2442FX mixer to feed the ISIS. The track was recorded several computers ago, so I have (temporarily, I hope) mislaid the source files. I usually manage to bring these along from hard drive to hard drive, but I couldn't find this song (sadly, because I was hoping to load it into Reaper and remix).
The tracks are:
2 x 12 string guitar (obscure Canora): each recorded using a Rode NT5, panned slightly left and right.
2 x electric guitar (Yamaha Pacifica) (rhythm and lead): plugged straight into the Behri desk and using a couple of the Behri guitar presets in its FX
bass (CF Martin electric): plugged straight into the desk
piano: midi recorded via an evolution keyboard, and piano sound sourced from a Roland SC88 Sound Canvas
drums: midi recorded via the keyboard (played live with fingers), and using a brush kit from the SC88
vocals: recorded with a Rode NT1A
Unfortunately, I didn't play the pedal steel, though I did all the rest. I recorded all the tracks above, then took the tracks to my recording partner (who does play pedal steel), who added the pedal steel. This, too, was recorded direct in via his Edirol interface. I then took it all back to my place for mixing.
I can't remember now what EQ, compression or other effects I used. However, in keeping with my general recording philosophy of doing as little as possible, there would not have been much. I do know that I would have used an old Timeworks reverb DX plugin, because (even though it's over ten years old) it, in my view, is the most satisfying reverb that I have come across so far.
Lyrics:
house
V1
a dog paws through the garbage,
its tail bent like a claw,
with ribs as sharp as knives,
it scavenges for more
V2
the door hangs halfway open,
no welcome in its lean,
the shadows creeping inwards,
into the rooms unseen
Ch
where the wine once flowed freely
the tablecloth was stained
with the rust red reminders
of the last who played the game
V3
a clock stands solemn, silent,
its hands frozen in time,
its pendulum unmoving,
a face without a sign
V4
cobwebs drape like lace
from broken chandeliers,
where curtains grey as shrouds,
hang with jagged tears
Ch
where the wine once flowed freely
the tablecloth was stained
with the rust red reminders
of the last who played the game

the pedal steel was played by Philip Bohm, a guy who I work on recording projects with.

This is my band, The Jongleurs, although this particular song is mainly me.
Acoustic guitars were Maton Messiah on the left and Maton A80 "Australian" on the right - gecko at least will know these!
Recorded with an AKG 451B - also took a line out into a Boss GT10 effects pedal using one of its "clean preamp" patches, except in the guitar middle bit as you'll hear (I can't believe I put a solo in, I hate them normally...) that I've dialled in some weird patch.
Electric guitar was a Les Paul into Laney 30W tuber...
The other Jongleur, Richard, is playing his Martin mahogany D16 (I think) in there somewhere too. Bass is DI'd. Everything went through a Mindprint Envoice channel strip.
Vocals were via a Rode NT2.
Recorded on a Yamaha AW4416 in January this year, except for the drums, which are Addictive Drums recorded into Reaper and then transferred into the AW4416 as an afterthought... (haven't worked out how to use Reaper properly yet...). Drums were finished about 10 minutes ago.
Lyrics:
Her friends said she was pretty, she couldn't see it herself
At the school dances the boys always seem to take chances with somebody else
She had the big sad eyes of a puppy, and when she tilted her head to one side
You just had to laugh, she knew what you were thinking, all the time she was sinking inside
And the skin on her arms tells her story, the tattoos, the tracks and the scars
She says sometimes I feel I'm from somewhere else, perhaps I'm even from Mars?
She said "Man I am damaged, and sadly in need of repair
I tried to talk to the guy with the beard, but I'm sure that there's nobody there"
INTERLUDE
She was just another enigma, a jigsaw with some pieces gone
And a look in her eyes that left no-one surprised that she found her way into song
I saw her name in the paper, autumn 2009
I wrote down the date but I made a mistake and I was late for the scene of the crime
Man she was damaged, like she told me that day
I couldln't fix her with all of my tricks, and so she drifted away
And so she drifted away
And so she drifted away
Man, she was damaged
Man, she was damaged
Man, she was damaged
Man, she was damaged...

What I like about the songs I've heard of yours is how they seem to reach back into the sixties, bringing back all the memories I have of that era, yet they have their own very special contemporary feel to them.

The LPC/Supercreep entry is Mutant Kinks with super growl bass. I love it.
Trackrat - lovely 60's Jangle Pop meets 80's Power pop. With a sly psychedelic vocal too! Cool bananas.
beezelbubba - A Cold & Empty Place (is where my beer used to be). Totally conned by the intro - it was taking me 30 deg L then the arrangement took me 45 deg right. A very forlorn Pink Floyd vocal reinforced by that trem organ. Almost a stoner - ace!
gecko - my tasweegian friend, ribs as sharp as knives - no welcome in its lean. Big picture painted in 10 words or less. Lovely writing.
Gerry - just stunning. The bvox work really well & you know I love your little licks.
Armistice (Day) - good timing just after ANZAC Day. 3 matons in one songs - mate - the company must love you. I've not been able to afford one - an icon guitar that I have to admire from afar.
I enjoyed the little martial style on the snare in spots. Good story, very well told - I really like the solo - don't bag yourself. It fits & sounds good too. There is an Australianness to the song - not just the vernacular & not even the accent but there's a feeling of the more acoustic songs from Gangajang - or dare I say it - maybe even some Go-Betweens - more Grant's songs than Robert's though.
Ode the Clinic - love that distorted bass. This is one non disco fun number. I love the combo of Sabbath style riffs & the Stones Miss You type of bass line. Cool
Bible Blues - tasty little diatribe and dogma venting session - that's what the blues was/is/shall be - expressing. The arrangement is just a little too naked but I get what you were aiming for I think. Well done.
a) I will listen because it is essential & b) will enter when I can fully divine the current status of my current currant.

Half the entries in so far - and a great suggestion by moresound to post your studio sheet so we can get some tips on how these were recorded/mixed. Listening as I post the songs - once again a great collection of songs.

Bah! First twelve posts only?! I object to this rule but am too lazy to make my own contest.
Fortunately, I have a song I was just about to post to the clinic lying around! Count me in!
Arrival (Part 4 of a series on interstellar colonization)
MP3 | FLAC
I have no idea how to make a studio sheet, so I'll just post a bunch of stuff about how I recorded it:
Drums - incredibly cheap beater kit.
- D112 4" or so from the center of the kick. EQ'd to heck and back.
- SM58 Just above the snare. EQ'd to heck and back.
- 2xS12s X/Yd above the hi-hat. EQ'd moderately.
- Reverb on the whole thing. Plus a completely dry kick track.
Acoustic guitar - $20 "Martin" (They put electrical tape over the "Ovation" logo )
- SM58 pointed at the hole.
- S12 pointed at the neck.
- These are hard-panned to opposite sides.
Electric guitar - Washburn-X series
- 1 clean DI take
- 3 or 4 distorted takes (SM58 pointed at my Marshall)
Bass guitar - Fender Fretless
- 1 DI take - EQ'd to be more defined.
- 1 Take through a 5 watt powered Crate monitor Mic'd with the SM58 - EQ'd to be muddier.
Synths - I manually created and dropped a bunch of square and sin waves into the Reaper project.
- MIDI is for sissies.
Vocals - All me through the S12
- EQ, reverb, and compression.

Yep.
The other entries sound pretty good so far!
For some reason, the melody of Beelzebubba's song reminds me of Alice Cooper's "Steven."

Thanks all.... just having a listen to the "competition" for the first time...
Nice boogie ido... sounds familiar somehow...
you do have more than one tune, don't you? Loving the guitar tones...
Track Rat - bitter! Love the chorusy bits with the no drums then double time drums... awesome power pop tune.. well done.
Beez - more bitter! (not that I can talk...). Epic toon... man, that acoustic must have the lowest action of all time, but it works. Loving the twin guitars about halfway through...
Gecko-man - good to hear another Aussie accent round here. Another nice twisted slice of life... what else has your pedal steel mate done? I love the electic tone on the little fiddly bits... wanted you to extend the ending a bit with that guitar... rip it up a bit! Extended 7 minute mix, anyone?
Armistice... supe.... oh wait, that's me...
VomitHat - wow... I take it this is part of a larger work? Very War of The Worlds... too short man... who was doing the waily falsetto bits?
Crazy doc.... say what you really mean fella! Ha ha...
Not exactly my cup of tea musically, but it's good at what it is...
Who'd I miss? .. oh Super... another classic tune... ftw - you have a knack of writing things that stick in my head... I still catch myself humming LP from time to time. Love the riffage at the start... off to nick your album bro. Must have..
More? Not 12 yet.... keep 'em coming...! Greg - White Trash not going to make an appearance? kc... anything from you? Heatmiser?
Hey RayC... I'll leave you the Messiah in my will... Just not planning on dying anytime soon...

Way to take charge ido .
I am working on my first new tune in months but will likely not finish it any time soon 
, and I'm also trying to get to a collab with someone, so....If it's ok, I am going to dig deep into the vault...all the way back to 2009 for this one 
. I have to warn any sensitive souls that there is plenty of profanity on this - sorry.
Not a great production or arrangement by any stretch, but I think it's pretty funny. It's a song about the mp3 mixing clinic.
I remember the drums were programmed on a Boss Dr 550 drum machine. The bass is a Peavey Milestone bass through a behri mic 100 pre for fuzz. Guitar is a '68 gibson sg special and any mic'ed parts were captured with an S M 5 7. Any delays were from an ibanez analog delay pedal and all other fx were from some digital multi fx guitar pedal. It was tracked and mixed on a tascam 688 8-track cassette and run through a teac graphic eq and recorded on a standalone cd recorder. I ripped a 128 mp3 from the cd.

Sorry that I've not had a chance yet to listen to any of the tunes. I absolutely will when I can. We had a few tornados blow through town and my day job has been 12 hour days putting things back together. Here's the run down on tracking;
Drums
Kick= D-112 in the hole and a Groove Tubes AM-52 in cardiod on the front head with a Mackie 1202 as preamps
Snare= An MD-441 to and Envoice MindPrint
Rack Toms= AKG C-1000 to an HHB Radius 10
Floor Tom= AKG C-3000 to an HHB Radius 10
Overheads= A pair of Earthworks SR-71's in X-Y to an HHB Radius 10
Guitars
Rhythm= A Strat into a EARLY 60'S DanElecro 1/2 watt amp miked with a Shure 545SH to a DBX386
A DanElectro 12 string through Hughes & Kettner BATT direct
Lead= A Schecter PT Custom through a Cry Baby into a Rivera Pubster with a SM-57 on the floor in front of it to a DBX386
Bass= A Rickenbacker 4001 thru a Hughes & Kettner BATT direct
Organ= An Alesis QS-8 witha cheesy Farfisa setting
Vocals= A modded Octava MK-319 to an Envoice MindPrint
Drums, bass, rhythm guitar and lead vocal went down in a take. Then I played the 12 string part, then the organ. My partner then did the lead thing with the wah. Then I built up the backing vox.
I should add, the drums were New York style compression (except the overheads that were not in the buss) through a FMR RNC and a little reverb from an Alesis Midiverb II. Vocals were squashed with a Wavs Renaissance plug (Opto).
I'll be giving all the tunes here a listen as soon as I choke down some grub and have a cocktail or 7.
