Peter Peters on the Gibson J160e.
Both Peter and I were blown away by the gorgeous tone that we got last night off the J160e.
It was really nice.
Peter put a rhythm track on song #3 and a scratch track on the new song #8. That's correct, song #8!. One more song to go, some editing and comping and Peters album will be off to the Mastering Engineer.
I used my Beyerdynamic M130 Ribbon microphone direct to the API pre. Its amazing how much more gain the ribbon mics take compared to others. The API was almost wide open! but what a wonderful sound. Ribbon mics don't add anything to the sound, just nice full and accurate. I find the condenser and dynamic mics make the acoustic guitar sound exaggerated in the higher frequencies and I end up having to pull it down with an EQ. So far with the ribbon mic I have not touched the EQ. Really nice.
So, no sessions booked tonight. So that means I will be working on my stuff.
Saturday afternoon is a session with Tina Cartwright and Sunday again with Peter.
Reminds me what a "friend" used to say to me when I told him I was recording local talent.
" Your waisting your time!"
What an idiot.
Hey, its my Blog, I can write whatever I want.
Too much fun.
