You Are Way Too Old For Me

Debo confesar:
I didn't think we'd finish in one day. Feeling rather ham-fisted whilst going over the chords to You Are Too Old For Me, I felt it had just enough twists, turns, and burn outs to mangle our song-a-week plan. I was quite ill on my bits and will have to delete that portion of the session, but Burgs and LTD were like twins separated at birth so that one could play bass leaving the other free to bang skins.


Notas de la produccion:
Burgundy's signal chain for his bass guitar goes a lil' something like this, Fender Precision>>Sansamp Bass DI>>Soundcraft 200VBE

For the drums of Little Tommy I wanted more of the room so most of the kit's sound is coming from two spaced small diaphragm condensers about 6 feet in front of the drums and 10 feet up in the air...the Romantic Air. I also have a pair of large condensers up against the far back wall---behind LTD---in the corners about 7 feet up. I find that when the pres are overdriven on these mics (inexpensive Oktava MK219s) they really pull out the room and make things a bit more lively, y'know?

¿Qué después?
Panic is coming by tonight to work out his piano bits for You Were Too Old For Me (he has already completed a remarkable, slightly distorted, Rhodes arrangement for O Honey) and Trevor will be in later in the week to finish a very MBV-y guitar collage for the outro of Citizens Army Uniform.

El buen tiempo vendrá!
