I became a huge KISS fan in 5th grade when a friend of mine showed me the Destroyer album cover. It was the first I had heard (or seen) of them.
They instantly became my favorite band as a kid.
47 years ago today KISS released their third album, Dressed to Kill, and with it their first gigantic hit “Rock and Roll All Nite”.
My favorite tune from that album though was a song called “She”.
It is one of the first tunes I learned all the way through and finally recording it.
This one is all P pickup, treble up about 30%.
I also used the DG B7K for some EQ and clangy, grunty goodness.
But I tried something else for the first time.
I was getting a really nice clangy top end out of the normal line out but did not like the bottom end, just wasn’t full.
So…
I recorded the bass on two tracks, one from the regular line out and through the B|AMP, and another through the XLR out on the B7K. After playing a bit with the sims, I ended up using the Forrester 4x10 cab sim with Bitey mic. This added a really full bottom end. And now I can finally appreciate what cab sims can do in a mix @howard.
There is a break in the song where you can really hear the tone towards the end.
Sorry for the lighting, not sure what happened there.
