CHiTT rolled in to the Neo-Nostalgics' practice space to do some on-site guerrilla recording Tuesday.Gear setup went quickly and seamlessly until we ran into a nasty electrical buzz, which is a common malady in many home-based electrical situations. After tracking down the buzz and eliminating it with a trusty $0.69 ground lift adapter, the Neo-Nostalgics rolled through their songs in two easy sets. Drums were multitracked with a mic and a track for each piece in the drum set, a Shure Beta 52 on kick, Sennheisers on the snare and toms, and AT2020s for stereo overheads. Keys and bass were recorded direct, and the guitar cab was recorded using a Sennheiser e609, isolated in a separate room in the basement.
All in all, we've got 8 tracks spanning 9 or so songs, with vocal tracks anticipated to be completed in an upcoming session. Mixdowns will come soon afterwards, so we'll keep you posted on the developments.
