11 North, the Seaside Chapter

For those who aren't in the know, I'm working on Carl Creightons new album called 11 North.

Alright, so after 2 long days of recording at the Seaside Lounge we got a whole lot done!

We got all the drums, and bass done. We almost got all the guitar done.

Here are all the nerdy details:

Instrument                Microphone             Preamp

Kick                             RE-20, D112           Vintech

Snare                          SM57                        Vintech

Rack Tom                  421                            Sytech

Floor Tom                  D-12e                       Sytech

Overhead L&R          AT4060 Tube        API

Behind the set           Coles 4038              API

Bass Guitar                RE-20                     API

Strummed Acoustic AT4060                  API

Picked Acoustic        AT4060 & 4038    API

Electric Guitar         Coles 4038              API

It has punk drums, it has looping on the intro song, it has very little piano, Charlie plays with a pick on a lot of songs. Basically, it's very different than Minnesota (Carl's first CD.)

In the coming weeks we will be writing string arrangements, recording vocals, doing some more guitar, recording strings, recording horns, making sense of "I've Lost My Mind", and mixing.

It's going to be awesome.

I'll keep everyone who reads this (I think I'm the only one) updated!
