I’m a bit late clearing the vault of stuff to blog, here, but these are some photos of the Mars Lights tracking sessions from July and August. The drums were done on Drew’s kit at my old house, and the guitars are being done in the practice space at Drew’s.
Drummer’s view showing overhead ribbon mic, snare mic, and room mics (aimed at walls, away from the kit)
Snare mic (Sennheiser e609 on top, Shure SM 57 on bottom) close-up
Kick mic (EV RE 320, aimed straight at the beater) close-up
Stage right view w/ kick (EV RE 320), snare top (Sennheiser e609) and tom mics. Toms are mic’d on the bottom head
