My band King Never just released a new single called World Gone Quiet. It’s a quiet, contemplative ambient/rock hybrid inspired by our early COVID-19 lockdown. Recorded, mixed, and mastered in its entirety here at the studio.
I would be remiss not to mention that my band King Never just released a new single. This is our first release of new music that was recorded entirely in the new studio.
Recording my own band was a great way to learn the ins and outs of the new room, particularly with regards to setting up the drums and guitar amps. I experimented quite a bit with placement throughout the room to find the locations that afforded the best tone.
You can listen to the results here or by clicking the artwork to the left.
In this episode of the Studio Rats Podcast, Jeff and I discuss recording the acoustic guitar. We touch on topics such as microphone placement, the merits of recording that really horrible sounding direct output found on most acoustic guitars these days, and emulating the Beatles white album acoustic guitar sound.
Additional topics include; our take on Apogee’s new Symphony I/O, the Ovation guitar as a paddle, why I remind Jeff of his Aunt, mixing Mumble, and King Never rehearsals.
Special thanks to the band Triangle Exception for providing the music.
