Loop Harvest - 6/25

Wednesday is my usual rehearsal day with Ebeneezer, but this week we had to cancel because the guitarist had a canceled flight back from NYC and couldn’t make it in time.

So I made use of the 2 hour window to do some housekeeping in the studio. I was working on some drum tuning tweaks for our gig up at the South Park Music Tour on Friday the 27th.

I made a few little breakthroughs. I found out that my internally mounted kick drum mic (Audix D6) was out of phase with my overhead microphone (Shure SM81). I didn’t think it was out of phase because I haven’t run into that problem previously. The sound was really washed out and almost transparent sounding. I thought it was the mic placement, but then I noticed that kick sounded full until I brought in the rest of kit.

I corrected the phase problem in pro tools by sliding the kick track so the waveform lined up with the overhead waveform for an isolated kick hit.

Anyway, while playing and tuning and improvising I discovered a few tasty grooves. Below are the first ones I’ve harvested from the hour and a half session I recorded.
