My band recently recorded Europe's "Seven Doors Hotel." It was a quick throw together to get something on our myspace page to promote a show we were doing at my college, so people would know what they were coming to hear. It turned out really nice. We would have done another take on the vocals, but we needed to finish, and we were in a makeshift situation and Amber couldn't hear herself very well, so it would have been a risk of losing the vibe, so I just kept it.
It was the first time she ever recorded anything. She had no idea how she sounds... had no idea she can sing at all really. Even after she heard it, she still freaks out when people tell her she sounds good. LOL
For all the recording nuts... drums were second take, vocals 3rd and 4th takes, guitar solo was 5th take with no punches. Guitars are double miced with a 57 and Audio Technica Pro 4l. Most rhythms double tracked as we have two guitarists, and the bass direct. The amp is a Mesa Boogie DC 3 through an Avatar 212 cabinet... Boss DD5 delay pedal and a Maxxon OD808 Tube screamer set to clean for the solos.
As for Europe... I still love those guys... old, new, in between... SO underated.
