Weathervane Multi-tracks - BIG TROUBLES
Hi folks,
My name is Brian. I just learned about this forum from someone over at Gearslutz. I started a non-profit called Weathervane Music (http://weathervanemusic.org) back in 2009. We produce a series called Shaking Through (http://shakingthrough.com) that brings emerging artists into the studio to record music. The impetus for this, of course, is that the music industry can no longer invest in the early stages of artists' careers. Please check it out. I believe in it with my whole heart and soul. Anyhow, I've been sharing multitracks and mixstems since January from new sessions. Please excuse the occasional link to another GS post. I'll try to upload everything here, but it'll take a little time.
So here's another round of multitracks and mix stems with a cool companion technical video (http://vimeo.com/24295225)! This time we recorded a song from a band called Big Troubles, a couple young kids from Ridgewood NJ playing big, anthemic rock like it's 1994 all over again (only they're not in middle school this time). Like before, we were lent almost the whole line of Telefunkens, as well as a D.W. Fearn VT2 and VT7. This time around, when it came to vocals at least, the U47 and the Ela M251 simply couldn't handle Alex, the singer, and his s's and t's. Image what it's like staring down $20,000 worth of microphones and opting for a $250 Shure SM-7b, instead! Lesson learned… it happens sometimes! Still two of the best mics I've ever heard! Again, I (obsessively) put links to all the gear used in the Track Sheet below. Thanks again to our friend George Hajioannou at Studio Logic (http://studiologicsound.com) for letting us borrow them! And as always, thanks to Scott Wilson from Scratch Studio (http://scratchstudio.com) in NY for hosting these files!
Hey… please give me feedback on the video. We'll do this every month if we can. Help us make this better!
Check out the song first.
