the return of the neon trees

thank goodness for the neon trees. things slowed down big time come october and i suddenly found myself quite unemployed when along they came.
we started out with overdubs on 4 more songs from their la drum sessions.

branden played the burns bass through the svt for most of these songs


tyler, elaine and chris show how glamorous the studio experience is


nate from code hero came to hang out

the following week we got to work on 6 new songs. it was great to get to track some drums and help build these songs ground-up.

overheads-u87s, kick-beta52 and blue mouse, snare-audix d1 top 57 bottom,
toms-audio technica atm25s, hat-414, ride-km184, front of kit-aea r88, room mics-blue kiwis

bass on the new tracks has been mainly branden's new lakland pbass through the svt, the b-15 or the sansamp bass driver, which really sounded great.
guitars - mostly les paul or 335 through the hiwatt, the orange and occasionally the silvertone 1482. also, a bit of jazzmaster snuck in there.
keyboards - direct with a lot of echo farm, amp farm, pitchblender, and massey tapehead.
vocals - wunder cm7-adesigns p1-chandler ltd-1 for eq-germanium compressor-distressor-apogee

more vocals to record tomorrow....
