Recording for the first time in a while

[Alsek† 0]

So for the first time in a while i pullout out all the gear and recorded something.

 

Strummed cover of Jonathan Coulton's song,  "furry old lobster," though you probably wouldn't recognize it otherwise because it's slower in his version and finger-picked... And his also has lyrics.

A lot of this is budget stuff.  I'm just playing around for now.  The signal was recorded as is,  all the mixing was done out of the box.  No effects plugins,  No EQing,  just mixing the condensers with the DI,  as the DI sounded extremely dry (obviously) and the condensers picked up the room,  found a balance between the two i liked.

 

Huray for budget recording!
