Sadowsky Action shots

Nope, 'fraid not. But, there is lots of warts-n-all live stuff elsewhere on YT. Here's one, then you can easily follow links to other songs from the same show:



Bass is plenty loud in the mix. Being married to the person who recorded and mixed the audio has its advantages. :ninja:
A drummer right? A match made in heaven for sure. :)

BTW, I know the studio is always the best recording, but I've just never been a fan of studio overdubs of live performances. I'd rather hear the warts-n-all. Kinda' adds to the live experience, ya know? :)

Yeah, I hear ya. The intent here was to make a promo video for that song using some live footage we had from an entire show, as you can tell by the serious loss of continuity throughout! I mean really, I can't change outfits that quickly. ;) :D

Truth told, I've been in a band guilty of the same thing. In our case, the big continuity thing was a female backup voice you heard but a male singer singing the part in the video. LOL!

Quick question... you have the HC's in your 4's, right? Do you solo the bridge and maybe bump the bass on Don't Stop Believin', Faithfully, and Who's Crying Now, or do you always use some neck, or maybe even fully blended?

Some of those tones Ross had were very clearly either strongly bridge favored or even solo'd, so I try to mimic that, but I still personally prefer to have some neck dialed in to keep it from getting too thin sounding, and adding some bass EQ helps, but not in the same way, and I prefer the neck pickup's tone for adding "depth" back.

I do go towards the bridge on those tunes but just a little bit. Just enough to come closer to his tone. A little chorus is added as well on Who' Crying and Dont Stop during the verses. I dont bump the eq at all.

A slight turn towards the bridge definately gets you there. But, you're right...gotta have some of that neck pup to keep it full. All the other songs are fully blended!!

Yep, cool. That's generally what I do, but our band wouldn't generally be as much of a stickler for accuracy as yours would, so I figured I'd hit ya with a sanity check. Thanks.
