Black Magic Woman - TightSqueeze

Post by RickT »

This was recorded at our gig on Jun 3. I used the Swart AST and my Grosh Retro Classic. For the lead tone, I used a Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive pedal.

We us a Bose L1 Model 2 with 2 bass bins for the PA. I used to run the Bose just in front of the back line of amps. However, the singer recently upgraded his vocalizer, our back up singers in a box, and started having trouble with feedback. So, I moved the Bose in front of the microphones and angle the unit so the sound from the Bose gets back to us and fills the venue. That eliminated the feedback and allow me to crank up the vocals.

To record, I use a Zoom H2N on a mic stand and place it in front of the band. This makes the vocals pretty prominent on one channel. I did a remix and merged the two tracks, but it did not have the clarity of the separate tracks.

Thanks to all for the positive comments.
