Shred 41 -They're neck & neck down the homestretch

I'm listening to Agitation Free's debut at the moment. 

I was listening to Sun Kil Moon earlier.

I've only heard one Schulze piece. And I quite liked it.

Oh, I thought you were listening to this:

You too what?

Also:  Do you perhaps mean Dream and Desire? Whoops, yeah, that's it. I always get that wrong somehow. Ah, alright.  Have you heard Klaus Schulze's In Blue?  I'm listening to Return of the Tempel right now (someone did me a favor and uploaded the entire thing to youtube in one piece, same thing with the other tracks from discs 1 and 2 at least), more Manuel guitar goodness and Klaus synths. I like In Blue. It's a lot better than some of his other albums from around that time.

I don't know what the rest of the album's like, but I'm really enjoying this track.  I may have to put on Into the Blue next.

I was always taught to do that at college and it became a major pain and waste of a channel We have at least 24 channels of simultaneous input. No big thing. But yeah. You would probably want a bottom mic, though. It usually balances out the sound. I was thinking of doing a mic on the side to make it fuller, but I was lazy. Probably should have added another bass mic. Bass Drum Snare Top Snare Btm Tom 1 Tom 2 Tom 3 Hi Hat Over Head Left Overhead Right Room Left Room Right I like mixing and editing drums so it's not really a problem. It just sucks that I got sloppy and had to punch in at every key change.

I had a rough sketch of the 4/4 part (about 1.5 minutes) and I wrote everything else and recorded it. Setting up the mics and getting levels takes at least 2 hours though. Huzzah 12 mics on a set. But it's going to sound great after I edit out all my f**kups since I was recording at 4 in the morning.
