Here's a little Christmas ditty sent to me by Chris Ballew. He's the former frontman from the Seattle alterna-grunge-power-pop trio "The Presidents of the United States of America". (The "Lump","Kitty", and "Peaches" guys...) He is a Home Recording/DIY nut since his pre-presidential days.
I'm the co-webmaster on a fansite Chris.Ballew.net, and he periodically sends us stuff for the site. He also mentors me along a bit by listening and commenting on my recordings that I send to him. This is his Christmas song he did for the website this year. This summer he upgraded his home studio. He had a Tascam 8-track casette, and upgraded to a G-4/Protools setup. Here's his notes on the song:
Basically it is all a C100s Mic for vocals and a drum loop that I slowed down a bit with a plug-in and the bass and piano and guitar are all through the POD. The whole thing was mixed in pro tools with plug ins that came with it. I want to branch out and get new plug-ins but I havnt had time to do it yet..
Vocals are doubled and run through a Pre Sonus Blue Tube pre amp. At 160 bucks the BEST mic pre for the computer environment I have found for the money and it only is a half rack space too.
that should cover it!
