Week 2 - Monday 3/18/1991 Setup: drums sounds, recording Mr. Brown
The drums were mic'd as follows:
The eq'd and compressed signals were sent to 7 tracks on the 2" analog tape machine. After Matt spent 15 minutes punching in corrections to his part. Berg recorded Emax II sampled Tanpura and real Tanpura parts. The real Tanpura was recorded with a Schoepps condenser mic through a Fairchild 670 compressor. The band disliked the sound and the track was marked for deletion. We attempted to record Mellotron flutes (with a Mellotron unit rented for the duration of the album sessions) for the verse sections. The Mellotron output was taken from its onboard pre-amp and fed into the mixing board. Due to the Mellotron's intonation and mechanical problems, nothing useful was captured to tape. We gave up at 8:15 p.m. and left the studio. |
