Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Heya Lamp, thanks for the review.

Manhattan Skyline definitely still lives in the set, and is always a crowd favorite. I haven't played the other song with her though, mostly we do stuff from her most recent album. She's on vacation for the summer though, then starting yet another new album in the fall, hopefully I'll get the call to do some sessions for that too [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The oud. As Canadians, we (by that I mean David and I - I hope I'm not being too presumptuous in that inclusion, am I David? Oh no, please, after you..) feel obliged to make sure "oud" is correctly pronounced - just like "out" and "about". That is, oot and aboot. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Speaking of the Nippa (I like to call David that - it lets me practice my really bad Aussie accent..."Crickey!! The lil' Nippa got me ahhm!!"), David got a chance to come down and check out my little studio in progress. It was good to meet face to face someone from this online community, and I want to report that he is a fine, upstanding chap. How do I know, you ask? He brought cookies when he came!

Hey Darren,
Yes, the day after I posted that, I was gonna add something to it, the phone rang and I just zapped it all. Basically I just said you did a very good job on the song. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]


Steve,
Yes, the 'oud' was a mystery to me at first too. But I hear that Nippamuk is known as 'the Stevie Ray Vaughn of the oud' is some parts(they say he can even play it behind his back). Word is, the 'oud' will be right up there with the Strats and Les Pauls pretty soon. It's just a matter of time...

seven,

great sound! I think I may have to pick up a pair of those octavas, everything I've heard on the DUC with them has been great.

So was the singer using a 58 into the board or somethng? It didn't really sound like a dynamic.


also, roger, nice work! that's reason, no?

thanks.

badperson, yep I was one of the first to venture into russian ground with those mics. He was using a handheld wireless mic that he brought. Probably a Shure. Glad you enjoyed.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

thanks darren,

so after listening to it again, and looking at the m012 on musiciansfriend (seriously thinking of getting a pair) how did you do the placement, in and x-y in front of the choir?

also, was that a keyboard going direct into the board?

and what was used to mic the piano?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Hey, thanks.... You are not a BadPerson at all... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Well, i don't have reason yet, but i used sampletank for drums and some of the pianos, and some PRO-52.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Badperson, those mics are indeed versatile. The piano on that song was recorded in another studio as a backtrack and I don't know what they used. But the live piano was mic'd with another m012. The strings were played live with a keyboard into the board. Since sound reinforcment was my main concern, I chose to place them about 5' in front of the choir about 10' apart.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Yo, TooLoud, yes I returned home with a bad case of studio envy after seeing your place. (Thanks for the kind words, by the way, but have you noticed your missing hubcaps yet?)
Wouldn't it be great to just drop in on everyone's studio from time to time?
Oh, and thanks for the oud link. But notice- nowhere have I said that I play the oud, only that one is needed, 'specially in the IBB's song Paint the Desert Wind. I have one; its from Morocco. Any other oud players out there?
