Streaming the recording session this week

Hey gents! Checkin' in. I've been playing the lurker around here lately, but never fear, I'm always hovering.

My current musical endeavor, a punk/rock and roll band by the name of New Red Scare, is going to be recording our newest song at a friend's studio tomorrow. We were invited to contribute a track to an upcoming Altercation Records (http://www.altercationrecordsinc.com/) compilation that's going to see some pretty good distribution.

My drummer has recently become obsessed with live streaming junk, so between around 5:30 and 9ish PM, EST, we'll be plugging in and having at it. Feel free to drop by at livestream.com/newredscare (http://www.livestream.com./newredscare). I thought I'd extend an invitation to all the TDPRI recording nuts!

I have absolutely no idea what this is going to look like yet, but the studio we're working in is owned by a good friend who taught me most of what I know about both recording and live sound, and that was enough to make my living in the field for several years.

I think if you log in with your facebook ID you can "chat" with us, but we may be poorly attentive.

Get ready to watch me screw up the simplest guitar parts an impossible number of times!

SOunds cool.
Might have to stop by.

Quite an interesting approach, but you always were a tricky devil, Ben! I'm tied up this evening, but would be interested in how it shakes out!

Kudos to your drummer!

Proposed title for your session: "I hit things and stream them up" :grin:

I'll drop in. It'll save me a drive.

I was able to catch a little bit of it - most during the bass micing vs DI part.

Almost completely OT - but Ben, the place you played here in TO is a week or two away from becoming a Crate & Barrel. I think it will be pretty close to unrecognizable from its former incarnation.

Cheers,
Geoff

Ha! Everywhere I play seems to vanish. I'm bad luck. The Basement in Kingston, NY, Anthony's Pizza in Gloversville, Mother Earth's Cafe - I'm the kiss of death.

...More likely they all closed because rock and roll is dead.

Tracked guitars tonight. Came out all right. I'm never happy. Used my home brew hottod Marshallish 2204ish circuit and my '82 JCM800 through my 1960 with Cannibus Rexs.

You know what we wound up pointing at it? A couple of old EV mics. An RE10 and some mic designed for toms. We also blended in some Beta52. I'm telling ya - old EV dynamics are like gold. Buy them, and then send some to me for tipping you off!

More likely they all closed because rock and roll is dead.

I'm in denial.
