5150 studios? How about 1505 studios?

[PeteDuBaldo]

I've been working on a song with a couple friends, and over the past few weeks we finally took the time to go screw around in my buddy's recording studio. It's a simple pro-tools setup and goes to show that you don't need much to have a good time!

Obligatory gear pics....

Here's a vid with a couple funny outtakes, a bit of horsing around, and most of the unmixed song in the background.

Thanks Pete, that's a great clip

Song sounds fantasic and it looks like you guys were having a great time.

I know you posted a bit of that song and which parts were which guitar in an earlier post, what's been the evolution since then?

 

[Jimmyb]

Cool!

(You do know that isolation booths are where they send people when you talk about them?)

Person a: God that guitarist's got a huge ego

Person b: I know, who does he think he is?

Person a: Look out, he's watching..."Yeah man, rock away dude"

Person b: "Yo! Shred on my man!"

Person a: It's ok, he's not looking anymore.

Person b: Are we supposed to be recording this?

Person a: Nah, I'll overdub something later on...

Very nice clip ...

Thank you a lot. the song is great.
By the way, why are you using a scarf around the neck of your guitar ? For the tapping section (like Michael Angelo ?) ?
We are waiting for the CD ...

Most guitarist use it in the studio when recording lead parts or any part which doesn't require the first few low frets, it's used to prevent the buzzing and ringing of the strings you're not using, like when you accidentaly hit a string which you aren't supposed to (because its a difficult part or you're just clumsy like I am). This way it's only a short dead note, 'cause the string is muffled, and the other way it would ring.

Thanks!

I still use the AL for cleans, and the y2d for dirty rhythm. The leads were done on the JP again.
Changes - I didn't double-track the tapping like I did before, and since I forgot most of the harmony parts I had written, they didn't make the cut. I also didn't tune

I was going to use the scarf/t-shirt to mute the Eadgb strings while doing the tapping part, but I changed my mind and did without. Of course, during the first take I had accidently turned the tone knob completely off so it sounded muted - I think that's the take heard in the vid.

I wound up not being able to record the leads while playing inside the isolation booth because there was too much feedback with the volume at 3. I ran a cable through a jack in the booth wall & then into the amp, which I then turned up to 8 so I could get some feedback when I wanted. This also made the amp wake up a bit, too. The shots of me with the JP in the booth were done while trying to get the levels/tone right.

Phatty, it was "stage beer" and goofing off. There was no Miller Van present at this party.

Regarding the Soldano - It's killer

PeteDuBaldo, that AL with the H/S/S is awsome !!! What does it sound like ??

 

[fsmith]

Pete,
Nice job. It sounds really good. The video was cool too, I like how you were able to sync it up in spots.

 

[Josh O]

you guys sounded great, awesome playing. I forgot that Brian said you guys would be doing that.

 

[slukather]

Hey Pete,

Awesome sound man, awesome studio, and awesome song, well done man, it sounds rockin'.

Scott.

 

[Colin]

very nice Pete, what are your plans with the song?

 

[Elmer Imperial]

Cool song, great licks, good tone, killer guitars, jammin' with your buddies, and it looks like you guys are having fun - what could possibly be better than that?

Nice!

 

[beej]

Nice Pete! Tune sounded excellent and looks like you guys had a blast doing it!

 

[lumberjack]

Cool song, Pete.

 

[SteveB]

Pete..

Great song and video! Looks like you had fun making it, too.

When I've recorded in studios like that, I just stick the amp in the isolation booth and sit in the control room while I play.

Man, that studio has clean carpet!
