The Ramifications band is beginning work on a new EP and came into The Sound Palace’s Studio B to record all in the room while maintaining social distancing. In this Youtube link, we are recording the drums, bass and guitar for one of the songs. (The onsite RV provides temporary accommodations for out-of-town bands).
All the microphones were recorded through the Soundcraft Series Five console with direct outs to Pro Tools. As is often the case, the drummer’s headphone mix ran pretty hot as noted by the occasional peak signal on the Aux Send meter for the drummer. Here were the microphones used in the session.
