This record eventually took four days to finish, which is not bad for an album as we used the fourth day to add organ and percussion. I think this was because they were extremely focused on what was need and what wasn't, which is unlike a typical rock band with egos and differing tastes. Charlie the bassist, wanted a big and more distorted sound much like converge or daughters, which strays away from your common bass tone. We tried some of my different techniques and foot pedals to achieve this.
Peadal selection used on different tracks and sections. From left to right. Boss Bass overdrive, Boss BluesDrive, Rat. and using a AKG d112 to mic up the bass speaker for a true representation of sound.
Organ Recording on intro of record.
Using organs and vintage amps and equipment always brings a record to life and was fortunate to do this here. was very excited to use a 1962 JMP1 Marshall guitar head(above) on this recording and found it easy to record and work with when mixing. As the recording went so smoothly, I'm in the process of mixing and have chosen to leave most of the instruments dry to achieve absolute roarness. This reflects the bands aim on this record.
