Harro everyone, I have just uploaded a couple of tracks I've recorded recently for a local band Dyscord (http://myspace.com/dyscord)
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=934905
Everything was done pretty quickly as they had a bit of a deadline to get them sent off to their manager who is shopping certain bands around to labels.
As such didn't have time to record acoustic drums, so used Addictive Drums and afterward their drummer turned up with a cd having mic'd his hat and cymbal and recorded those at his place so I dropped them in to the mix instead of using the AD ones. Otherwise guitars are double tracked on each side, one take through a 6505 on lead channel with an MXR GT-OD in front, and the second take through a Dual Recto 2 channel, also with the MXR in front. Cab used was a Mesa oversize, with one SM57 on axis and one Rode NT55 on axis which sits fairly low in the mix.
All the rhythm guitars were tracked using an LTD grynch with EMG 81 in the bridge, the solo parts on a Caparison Dellinger HGS.
Bass was a Musicman Stingray, and done through a Warwick Quad VI head with a Sansamp PSA-1 in the fx loop, DI'd out of the head to my interface and then through Ampeg SVX software just for the speaker emulation.
Vocals were tracked with an AT2020 and I used an SE Electronics Reflexion Filter as well.
This is also the first thing I've done using my new Onyx 800r preamp rack, into my new M-Audio FireWire 1814 I purchased as my Motu 828mk2 died on me a few weeks ago, turns out it's a rather awesome little unit, and fairs much better playing back a heavily loaded project than the Motu did so I might sell the Motu once I get it repaired
Comments, critique, etcetera are extremely welcome, please have a listen and share your thoughts!
