Orchard
It's always great to welcome new artists in the studio. Today we were visited by the stoner rock band Orchard. These guys asked to record a live demo of what was to be their self-recorded and produced album. But after hearing them perform, I think they'll end up recording and producing the album with us.
As you can see, the setup is live and stripped down. Drum kit is mic'd up with an Audix D6 on the kick, a Shure SM57 on snare and a Neumann TLM103 as an over-the-shoulder overhead.
The guitar amp has an SM57 right up against the grill
and the bass is DI.
We put an SM58 on the drummer's vocals
and a Neumann KMS105 on lead vocals.
These kids are working hard and I think they have talent. So why not help them out a bit.
