Bipolar Echo in the studio March 2010 Video by Kevinsky - MySpace Video
If you have about 20 minutes to spare, you might enjoy this. We recorded 4 songs for a yet to be titled EP/Demo. Very cool studio... they have Pro Tools HD with the new version (8 I think it is), and they have some great mics. We used the Manley Cardiod Reference for vocals and Nuemann U87s (with late 60s and early 70s serial numbers) for drum overheads and as one of the two mics on the guitar cabinet.
Guitar micing was an SM57 on the cone and the U87 off axis, both up close. I used my DC3 through a Carvin Legacy 412 (for those who want to know but don't want to look it up, Vintage 30s are in that lol).
The only effects from my rig were Keeley compressor for the clean, Maxon OD808 for mid boost on the solos, and Fulltone Deja Vibe for one song (wow it sounded amazing... I love that pedal!). Well, and the Wizard Wah...
I told the guy who is going to mix it to leave the solos hyper dry where he can (think Reb Beach on the last two Winger albums). I was really digging that vibe when we played it back. I like the vocals dry too so, if he mixes reverb in that I love, I can only imagine how good this thing is going to sound.
Of course, the guitar is the BFR.
For the bass players, we used Tiny's Ampeg SVT 3 Pro direct through some sort of nice mic pre... lol I'll have to ask him about that. Just a smidge of overdrive.
Some of what is on the video is early takes, some of it is final takes... I thought it was more fun to see some mistakes and hear some stuff before we listened and were like..."UM...yea, lets redo that part." LOL
I'm sure I'm forgetting something but... there is a reply button for later if I rememer. lol
