Thanks , TONE, SPUD , and everyone else for the kind words, glad you like that one .. that particular track was recorded on an 8 track cassette multi track recorder, i think it was a tascam , its basically just a demo , to get the arrangement worked out , if you listen you can hear the tape hiss. We record some stuff the old analog way as it is much quicker when we are working out parts and arrangements , there is no mastering , no compression , and basically no effects on that track, it was recorded in my basement using basic gear , shure sm57's for the guitars , the bass went di and also miced from an amp, rhode condensor for vocals and a drum mic kit , 57's ,421's d12e,and a couple of akg condensors for overhang , the guitar amps are all vintage stuff and that accounts for the decent tones .all of the signals were passed through a 24 channel soundcraft board then to the 8 track i mixed the tracks and dumped the analog out to digital on my pc .. supprisingly analog is still a good recording format, and its very easy to get decent results ... we have recorded some tracks using digital gear , "head of a pin" a track i posted earlier is an example of that .so basically on this recording there is not a lot of bells and whistles.we will go back and do a better recording at a later date , we just wanted to get the song down so as not to forget it really ..All the members of our group have know each other for over 25 years and have played together in different bands in the same area for all that time and in one band for about 5 years .. we get together sporaddically to socialize and write tunes or ideas we keep the best ideas and then get back together to work them up and record them , we have a blast As to the process of recording the "how it ws done " i'll put together a post of how the tracks are assembled and the process of mixing if anyone is interested .. i post another track this weekend , thanks again fellas ..6S9L
