it's a rare occasion that i actually record these things and i though i would try to take a poke at them.
The big thing i wanted to do here is get an electric tone i liked. I got it good by itself, but i needed the drums to see if they mixed well. bass also mixes well, but i didn't like the part i made up so i didn't think it was needed.
Electric was recorded with 2 dynamics one on axis at the center of the cone, and one off axis right at the center of the cone. I have a room adjacent to this one that is a carpeted bassment with brick walls, so i put an ldc in there and pointed it at the far off wall(about 30 feet away). I also used an sdc in the room i recorded in, because it has a sort of a warped omni pattern, though its cardioid.
the amp is a delta blues 30 watt tube, guitar is a semi hollow epiphone sheraton. it has 0 reverb or compression plugins. i think i did 2 3db cuts on one of my dynamic tracks..but that's it.
you can comment on the drums but really...they are CRAP live. cracked cymbals...ringing snare, crappy bass drum. i did some expanding to tame the ringing, and EQ'd my kick and snare to get something out of them, but really, it is a horrid set. it's miced with 2 mxl 991's...57 on bass, cm50 dynamic on snare.
i took off the url...this is horrid. the timing or something sounds crappy. i listened to this a bunch of times...and now i'm listening on my laptop...its horrid. the tone isn't the thing...its just my horrid musicianship. i'm pretty ashamed of it
