Smash Studios A - Coffee-Boy drums while Dave sings in Smash Studio A.
It was a night in Smash Studio A. Another Monday night which is weird cause you get a free hour with every 2 hours you book, but we have to pay for 4 hours anyway in order to secure the 7-11 slot, yet we get to use the studio from 5 to 11 which we cannot use and we get 6-7 for setup free anyway, most of the time. Terez was back in Minneapolis so Dave wrestled the vocal reins like Sammy Davis Junior, leaving the drumming duties up to Coffee Boy. Nice job on the drums and thanks as always for the Kilo of Java, you know how to keep a producer producing.
Guest for the evening include Ken, Stu and Sarah Doctor in the House. It was super hot in the room until someone turned on the air. Got a recording of the night. Lets see how it sounds. I tried out my new Rode NT-4 Stereo X-Y configuration mic on the drum overheads. First high, then low then just right.
The
following pictorial from the MCMUA's Christmas season was published at the
insistence of Penny Jones, an honorary Deadstein member (see the
member's page). Notice my Jerry doll "Poised for Flight"
on the MCMUA's left wing's Christmas Tree. Looks like Jerry's
Christmas Tree is looking for a nice little Chanukah Bush. Soon to
follow are quick pictures of Penny eating my sausage that I ordered at the
Portuguese restaurant we went to for the office's Christmas
luncheon. It looks like when Penny is hungry she can devourer a lot of
sausage. Next time she's at Deadstein, maybe someone should offer
her a salami.
For reference this was the recording setup. - Let not forget Mitch's Mini-Disk.
