Hi all -
I finished up the new album for Pharaoh in December, and the promos are now out. There is one track up on their web site now. This isn't really a "rate my mix", since it's done and the CDs are printed :) I just thought I'd share a new track...
Since there were a few comments about our track The Wild Swans at Coole in the ProgPower CD Sampler post, I thought I could add some details.
The Fools Game lineup is:
Lars F. Larsen Vocals
John Macaluso Drums
Nick van Dyk Keyboards
Matt Johnsen Lead Guitars
Matt Crooks (me) ...
So I've only mic'ed a bass amp a couple of times, and I think I'm just getting lucky, since I don't really know what I'm doing there :) Or maybe, it's just as easy as I think?
I have an SVT Classic and a 6x10. I've mic'ed it with at D6 and a yamaha subkick and it's sounding really nice, but...
Here's a quick solo John recorded while he was tracking the drums for my album:

So I started tracking the guitars for my album.
Here are a few pictures from the studio:

I recorded the drums a couple of months ago with John Macalusso (ex-Yngwie, ARK, TNT, James Labrie, blah, blah, blah):

Drums:
Just ordered 8 ch. of API preamps (2x 3124) and based on Mercenary's recomendations, a pair of Josephson C42 mics. Anyone used these mics? I've got a pair of KM-184s, but I need a hihat and ride mic as well as overheads. I'll be testing out which pair I like better on o/h vs. hihat & ride.

If you go to the Pharaoh page there's some pictures there of the band in the studio with me.... and damn I didn't realize my hair had turned that gray. :hypno: There's also two...
Here's a almost finished mix of one of the bands I'm recording right now:

I hope you enjoy it. The production is certainly not modern, in that the drums are not very clicky and the guitars are not too gainy. However, I think I got 95%...
I'm putting together a budget for TDM plug-ins (running on PT HD), and would like some input as to what you all think are the manditory plugins and why.
I will already have the HD|1 bundle and the Massive Pack. What else will I need? I know that I have to have Auto-Tune, but what else...
I've read a lot of bad things about the Control 24, but is there anything else in the same price range that is any good? The D-Control is a little out of my price range right now and the AWS900 is a lot out of my price range.
Is a used ProControl a better choince than the Control 24? Any...
