Members B-Bottom Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 It went really well. It was a little strange at first listening to everyone else through headphones but it didn't take long to get used to. We basically recorded everything live and then went back and fixed any mistakes that we made. We ended up running my V-4 into a sansamp instead of a cab. And even though stuff hasn't been mastered yet it still sounds epic. We are heading back next Saturday so that I can do all of the vocal tracks and the guitar player can add little things here and there. Overall it was a pretty badass experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funkee1 Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 Studio is fun! On the Surewill stuff, the guitarist and I sit in the booth. Will and the drummer are in the studio with headphones, and the sax player is in the iso booth with headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassred Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 We rehearse in "The Cave", which is sound-proofed and ready to record at all times. We have the drummer live in the room, bass is direct, guitar amps are in another room miked up. We rehears and record with headphones. I love it. Never a night that is too loud. It's similar to using IEM's. I've even been using my Skull Candy Ink'd buds ($17) and they sound great! Just won a pair of Shure SE115's at CES, so they are my new main pair....

Moderators Kindness Posted March 6, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm confused by the V4 into the sansamp. Glad the recordings came out well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B-Bottom Posted March 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm confused by the V4 into the sansamp. Glad the recordings came out well! I let the studio guy set the thing up because I know jack about the stuff. The speaker jack from the V4 was running into the sans amp. Then their was a DI box that was hooked into the front of the amp and effects. My bass was also running into the DI Again i don't really understand that stuff but it sounded pretty mean. I'm pretty pumped to hear the mastered stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted March 6, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2010 I wouldn't let him run your amp without a speaker load. That's a dangerous path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a REALLY good way to fry your OT. There's a few speaker load simulators that are supposed to work pretty decently, but that's just begging for the magic smoke to be let out.

Members B-Bottom Posted March 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 I could be totally wrong about how he did it, to be honest I was concentrating on a bunch of other things. The dude has been doing this stuff for a bunch of years so I'm sure he did it the correct way. Here are a few pics from yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thrustin Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 That's a manly looking drumkit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B-Bottom Posted March 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 That's a manly looking drumkit. that's just the one that he used for recording, normally he plays with this He is really into Vistalites. He has 4 kits, the two shown, a clear and a blue vistalite kit. They are by far the loudest drums that I have ever heard in my life. Plus they are super awesome looking. But apparently they sound like {censored} when you try to record with them so he didn't use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B-Bottom Posted March 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2010 Well we went back on Saturday and I laid down all of the vocal tracks. I think that it turned out pretty well. The guitar player also changed a few things here and there. The songs still need a final mixing and mastering, but we do have the rough versions up on our myspace page. Check them out and let me know what you think....unless you think that they suck of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
