Ponderosa at Studio 1093
I recently assisted Patrick Ferguson on a session for the band Ponderosa at Studio 1093 here in Athens. I took a few pictures from the session and thought I would post them here so you can see the studio and some of the options recording there provides.
The first picture shows a concert bass drum set up in front of the kit to provide some extra low end and resonance when the kick and toms were struck. The second picture shows a wider view of the room and the drum setup with a pair of microphones in front of the kit and a single mic on the landing above to capture more of the room ambience. The last picture shows a pair of microphones (a Neumann U47 and an RCA 77DX) set up for vocal tracking. The two mics were tracked simultaneously so that their different textures could be utilized for different passages.
