Thunderbird Club

LONG day today. Checked out of the hotel quite early in Memphis. There was a terrible accident on the interstate and what is normally a 3 hour drive home, took over 6 hours. Unloaded the van, gathered up all my recording gear and headed to my friends bike shop to record Mike Lynch. In my rush I forgot a couple things, but remembered most of the important stuff. Went with a simple Glyn Johns miking setup on the drums. Stager SR-3 on the overhead, R-84 on the side OH and the D12e on kick. Thought I’d mic the snare, but decided against it. Everything sounded fine to me. On the guitar amp I used an RE-27 just off the cone, the Avantone CR-14 about 18” back from the amp and a DI just in case we want to re amp or something...safety net. Ran the bass direct as I planned on re cutting that later anyway. I think between the API pres and the Stager mic, things are an improvement over the last recordings I did with them...will do rough mixes tomorrow to find out :)

The sound treatment on those walls is outstanding!
 

That's a tweet, not an essay. Her verbiage just begged for a treatise that seemed to say yes, but ultimately said no. Which would be both a waste of time and cruel, but it's my natural response (which I don't indulge any more) to pretentious-sounding babble.

I'm reminded of Mel Brooks in "History of the World" when he says he's a 'standup philosopher'. The reply being 'oh, a BS artist'.:eyebrow:

Make the move to the Best Coast Jeff!
...and there you have it @JJR58
An open invitation to visit the Queens Court. Veronica has a bit of spare room in the house for your Thunderbirds and Berg cab. Of course you'll have to sleep in the Subie until you find your own place. But in the meantime you can earn your keep by cat sitting for the Queen.:thumbsup:
