Sunday Sessions..........

Today was a great day for music.

Started out early this morning and put down scratch tracks for my new song "Hopeless".
Acoustic guitar and vocals. I used the Gibson J160e with a Beyer M130 ribbon mic into a Grace 101 pre. Really nice tone, the more I use these ribbon mics the more I like them. Very accurate sound and don't add anything. I also used the same mic for the vocal track. The song has started out very nice.

Everyday is a great day for music.















Later that afternoon the real fun started. Peter Peters came for his session with Adrian D'Aguilar for bass tracks. It was great! As usual Adrian was right on, a couple runs and it was done.
The first song has an old time smokey vibe and Peter decided to have acoustic bass.
What an awesome instrument and an awesome player. The acoustic bass was miked with 2 mics, a Heil PR40 on the F-hole and an ACM310 a little further back.

Did I mention that the Double Bass is huge!














The second song was more upbeat and Peter decided on electric bass. Adrian used his 5 string Music Man bass guitar. We ran it directly into the Ampeg B-18 and miked it with the Heil PR40 microphone into the API pre. Wonderful punchy bass that works perfectly with the song. We were all happy with the results.

Here is Adrian with his Music Man bass.
