I've been listening, from a recording perspective, to some especially well-produced cds. This brought me back around "Sacred, Profane," which I was listening to a lot last year this time.
T Bone did an excellent job producing. Clean and tidy. Everything sits perfectly in the spare mix. M.C.'s rhythm mandolin is always a little to the left, Jerry's dobro hard right, Stuart Duncan's fiddle hard left. Bass in the middle. On many of the tunes the guitar is barely there. I asked Mike what it was like to record this once, and he said something like, "T Bone had mics all over the place, and you didn't know what was turned on." I might have that wrong. It was a casual remark. But I'd like to hear more about how this album was recorded in the course of a couple short days. Which studio did you use at Sound Emporium? Were the recordings "live"? Did Elvis sing his parts while you played, or did they go down later? Was he in the room, or off in a booth? How'd the studio experience differ from making "Stomp"? From recording with John Hartford? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
