Dinosaur Monster has entered the Communist Day Care Center, and let me tell you that they are sounding good!! Last night Eric and Ken laid down drum and bass tracks for more than half of the album. All the crazy rehearsal and preparation they have been doing has paid off because they are tight!
Here's some of the tech. specs. for you gear heads out there:
The kit's a Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute 22, 10, 14 w/ an old Ludwig Supraphonic snare, and Zildjian K's for cymbals. On the kick we used the ol' standby AKG D112, as well as a pair of AKG C519's on the toms. For the snare we used an AKG d190E, which is a microphone I like to use for a lot of different applications, but sounds great on snare. It was a microphone designed for use with public announcement systems and the like, and it has a really unique flat response. It is certainly my favorite microphone in my stable. On the hats we had a Shure SM81. For the overheads we had a pair of C100's that sound just great.
We ran the bass direct with this setup, which gave it a big, fat, tight sound.
All of this ran through a single Tascam US1641 Interface sampling at 96000 Hz into a two year old MacBook Pro running REAPER.
We'll be working on tracking the rest of the drum and bass next Saturday and guitars and vox after that.
Do Svidanya!
