  • Mars Lights Bass Reamping

    Drew and I reamped all the Mars Lights bass tracks Friday night.Sounded pretty huge.

    We were short on good mics for bass cabs when we were doing the main tracks, so we recorded a DI bass signal.  Friday we ran that signal back out from ProTools through the bass gear.

    Not everything in the picture was on.  Signal chain was ProTools > Empress Compressor > Falcon Heavy > LS-2 (signal split) > two amps: Music Man 65 and Traynor Bass Master.

    I also got a vocal track down – first one since before Thanksgiving, when I got sick – so massive progress on the double LP this week.  \m/

    My bass rig is now back at home for recording h&s tracks.

  • Upcoming Dark Satellites Shows in KC/Lawrence

    27 Jan 2018, Saturday – Dark Satellites at minibar, Kansas City MO, with In’ Ere and Shoebox Money.  Doors at 9, show at 9 (yes, allegedly), 21+, $5

  • This is what editing 61 sax solo takes looks like

    Wild.

    I’m about halfway through updating the h&s mixes to kind of see where we’re at, post-recording-guitars.  I think bass is up next, provided I can coordinate gear with the Mars Lights mixing process.  (We need bass gear for that too, to re-amp my DI signals.)
