Posted project update #8Cooking with gas
Today we picked up five used microphones giving us a total of nine. This means we have enough to mic a whole band, including a drum kit.
Jeff F and I figured out how to bus the channels back into the board so we can record the drums on say two tracks, leaving us enough room for everything to fit in eight tracks. This may not sound awesome but it really is.
We've scheduled a session this month, so all these months of working on a shoestring have really payed off. Stay tuned for backer surprises, invitations, and recognition. It's all coming together friends!

Posted project update #7Dreams can come true
Post CommentYesterday some packages arrived at the studio. The cabling and ends I ordered along with two large mystery boxes from Madison, WI.
It turns out, a clever and generous person named Earl Houston sent us an 8-channel digital interface and a computer with the appropriate hardware and software to run it. I blew the packing peanuts off these treasures and set everything up as quickly as possible employing an old fuzzy monitor from the 90s.
In a few short minutes I was recording a sloppy version of the bassline from Donovan's Season of The Witch.
I called friend, Station DJ, and bass player, Jeff Fournier to come over and bask in the warmth of stranger-generosity and the wonders of the Internet. Jeff was kind enough to sit, smoke, and work through how we were going to set everything up. We opened up the computer and slapped some extra memory in there. We checked out the XLR ends to see how the soldering would go.
It was a productive and exciting evening. Later I concluded that this was the adult version of D&D.
After all this, we've got everything we need to record. What's left is cable-making, testing, cleaning, setting up, more testing, and a little bit more testing. Our exciting project just got even more exciting.

Posted project update #6Cabling and compression
Post CommentWe're getting close to our first recording session. Today I ordered 100 meters of mic cable for patching everything together.
I've obtained a handful of mics, of course the mixing board, and a tube compressor for vocals and bass.
We'll start out with two-channel recording, like vocals and guitar. We'll also make a little video and share it with all of you backers.
After that we've got our eye on a multi-channel recording interface.
