Chase The Shades baby...
Last night we knocked out some serious parts for "Chase The Shades of Night". Mr Tom Sasso was alive and well after winning his cage fight brawl contest this weekend and in top form for taking vids and pics. See?
He brought chips with him to shower upon the people and my floor. Note Christian is holding the bag upside down in this picture. Yay! Rats to follow!
Anyway - i've been using a pair of older AKG 451EB small diaphram condenser mics for things like overheads, percussion, acoustic guitars, etc. for like 8 or 9 years now and i've grown very used to them (i.e. love them), but in recent weeks, they have been crappin out on me in the middle of sessions. They both have different noise issues and don't sound matched any more. Time to send 'em out for a good old fashioned fixin'. In the meantime, i had to bite the bullet and buy new mics. ugh. i literally can not stop buying equipment - even when i want to. so last night we tried out a pair of josephson C42 mics. i liked them on the acoustics and percussion bits we used them on, tomorrow night we'll see how they perform on drum overheads. here's me setting them up for some acoustic tracks:
in addition to guitars, we put some rhodes lines down for the song as well. I know, we don't own a rhodes, but through the magic of computers, almost anyone can without the worry of keeping it tune or storing it.
finally, here's tom's little video montage of the night.
