Unlängst die Snare, oh Gott ist die Snare Drum viel zu viel? (Nein, natürlich nicht.)

Heute: Tiefbass, ich glaub ich bringe alle um, OMG OMG OMG. Mit meinen kleinen Boxen höre ich das doch gar nicht!

Schnell kurz das Kreuz gebrochen und einen Subwoofer aus dem Lager hochgetragen ins Studiozimmer… erstmal eintunen, zugegeben 800W 15" sind etwas viel fürs Studio…

… okay, uffz, Mix hat Schmackes, ist aber keinen Armageddon unter 50Hz.

Aaahhahahaber dieses satte Fundament, ha schon geil! Aber als Sitz ist er querkant zu niedrig und hochkant zu hoch.

Lernprozesse, immer.

Und die tägliche Runde Digitalvibraphonegitarrenkontrabasskrautrock ist am Laufen.

Fretboard radius. There’s a topic. Put down some rhythm tracks on the new song last night and used the Tele with 9.5” radius. I found chords a bit unpredictable. Basically open chords with really aggressive fast playing. Then put down some picking triplets over the chords with the Tele and it was a breeze. Tonight I tried the Danelectro 59M with 14” radius for the speedy chords, and no problem. Interesting phenomenon. Curvature. So looks like Dano for the chords and Tele for the triplets in this song. #guitar #recording #music #gearsquad

I've often wondered if i would enjoy the result from singing into a ribbon microphone. Unfortunately I know so little about the ones currently available (or vintage models that actually have an XLR out).

What are your thoughts? Better off using a plug-in to emulate? What models have you tried?

With 26 Spoken Word albums you need a sampler. A couple years ago I released "Joined The Sounds Of Waves" as an opinionated introduction to my recordings. But I've done a lot of writing since then. It's time for an update! My new Rural Gloom Sampler is now free to stream/download via bandcamp. https://damonthomas.bandcamp.com/album/joined-the-sounds-of-waves-a-rural-gloom-sampler #writing #poetry #SpokenWord #recording #florida #bandcamp

Good basement session tonight. The slow keyboard intro verse section is done and I’m onto the upbeat part of the new song. Put down some rough test guitar tracks to see how it’s gonna work. Got it sorted. Two guitar tracks; chord riffs one side and triplets on the other. May have a third guitar up the middle in the back. Put down a full run through rough vocal tonight too to check timing. Once the guitars are tracked, I’ll do the vocals. Then bass. Song should clock in somewhere around 3:30, which is cool. #music #recording #songwriting

Hardware Vorstellung Teil 2: Fredenstein V.A.S Mic-Pre

Ich nutze dieses Teil für Aufnahmen von Vocals und Akustikgitarren.
Da kann das Audio-Interface heißen wie es will, mit dem V.A.S Mic-Pre steht der aufgenommene Sound einfach viel präsenter im Mix. Unbedingt antesten!

Quite good video for those who need IRs for their Helix, Fractal etc.

Tata Beya. Lebt heute in Zarautz, früher in Tübingen und da blieb sie mit einer Session-Band auch mal zwei Tage vor meinen Mikrofonen stehen…

Genre… Liedermacher-Pop mit Rock-Sound?

2019 war das, da hatten wir noch nicht mal Corona. (Release war dann 2020).

Another basement session tonight. Got the intro keyboards figured out in this new song I’m working on. Part of last night’s issue was first, I didn’t have an entire vocal tracked yet to sync the keyboards; I was using the click/drum track as my guide. The second issue was due to my lack of keyboard proficiency to nail it with a bunch of unknown to me weird chords. So I put a vocal down with the beat track (in this case both drums and click), then I was able to sync the keys more accurately to the vocal. I’ll remove the drums later, as the first part of this song will be just keys and vocal. Then all hell will break loose mid-song when the tempo changes from 66bpm to 140bpm. It also probably helped that I played the chords a fair bit to actually learn the fingering. I dug up my old SM58 and used that for the test vocal track. Wow, I usually track vocals with a large diaphragm condenser mic. What I discovered was that the SM58 has a nice warm frequency response, way different than a condenser. May just use it for this song. Never done that before. You sure have to get up close to the mic with a dynamic. Major learning tonight. #music #recording #songwriting
