Hammer Time!

It was a cold and snowy night in the village of Dals Långed. Everything was calm... Then, all of a sudden, there was a loud bang, and another, and another..... Yes, finally! - Repulse has officially started to record their third demo, said the villagers.

I set up the mics like this:

Kick - AKG D12
Snare - Shure SM57
Toms - Shure SM57
HiHat - Röde NT-3
OH L - Röde NT-2
OH R - Röde NT-3



For the kick and snare I also used RedShot Triggers through my TechnoBeat Triginterface, then use Redrum in Reason with some nice samples. Probably from Drumkit From Hell.



All microphones went through my Focusrite Octopre and then via ADAT Light pipe into my Digidesign Digi 002R. I used some slight compression in the Octopre just to defeat peaks. I am now using the Mac mini 1,42 GHz to record and it runs great!

To the left: the overheads...
Below: the baldhead!



The recording went very smooth, Cato nailed the three songs in approx. 3,5 hrs, including level check! That´s fast! Next thing to do now is recording the bass. I´m hoping to get started this weekend.
