Thanks all. Just like our last holiday song in 2017, we decided to do it at the last minute, write in in 2 days, and recorded it in less than a day, mixed & mastered in a day each. Sometimes, working under the gun produces good results as you have to commit and move on.

NIIICE. Sounds real good man. Nice mix and sounds. Can I ask how you're recording bass? It sounds great. Guitar sounds are nice too. Love the voice. I didn't catch all the words the first time. I vote for posting lyrics up.

AC played bass. I *believe* he went direct into a Neve 73 style
preamp, but I’ll ask to be sure as I don’t remember.

Lyrics as requested…
Pandemic
Christmas these days, just ain’t quite the same
Openin’ gifts on zoom calls is really kinda lame
But I guess we should all be grateful, that at least we’ve got that
But I miss ole Sanny Claus and his silly red hat
CH - we want Christmas of 2019
We’re sick and tired of this quarantine scene
We want Christmas of 2019 no masks or jabs, know what I mean?
V2 Christmas this year, just ain’t the same, they say families can’t gather,
can’t call each other naughty names
Well I’ve already decided, Im putting up a Christmas tree,
And I don’t even care if nobody sees it but me.
CH2 - we want Christmas of days gone by
This distant revelry it makes me wanna cry
We want Christmas of yesteryear
with the loved ones we’ve lost
and without all this fear
V3 A pandemic Christmas, it just ain’t the same, I need to think right, get my head back in the game.
Let the Christmas light shine as only it’s able, cause the Christ child was born in a Bethlehem stable.
CH3 This ain’t Christmas like we used to see, but that’s ok if you know what Christmas really means
Lets think about the reason for the season, like Christmases before
And a Merry pandemic Christmas, to you and yours

@FortyEight , I was mistaken…AC used his Bronco bass with Rumpel blade pickup into Sebatron Axis 200vu tube preamp Pushed a bit for color. From there into an 1176 or LA500 opto compressor.That’s the hardware.
Once in the PC, he added the Fuse Audio Vpre-376 preamp plugin and Waves J37 tape plugin for more color.

Oh snap, tube pre amp. 1176?? Hardware? You got good stuff.....
Nice lyrics!! Thanks for posting.
My last bass was pbass all the way tone and volume, rumble 40, beta 58 12" away from cone, line out. no effects. It's not as good as yours. I'm happier with it than some of the other stuff I've done though. The time before this I had a mxr dyna comp on it and I think the clean was actually a bit better. Although they both are OK. Although actually I had the mic set up way different for that one. Might change my story if I did the mics the same.

Yeah, AC REALLY got a nice bass tone on that one. When I am playing bass I usually run into a Never 73 clone preamp direct and I also will mic either a tweed Champ (yes for bass…into a beefy 12) or a bigger Fender type amp Also into that preamp.One will hit an 1176 clone on the way in and I’ll use plugins on the other. I then blend the two.
