Thank you! That was, indeed, my jazz Aerodyne. I have been loving it!
Went to the studio with my brother and a friend yesterday. It was tons of fun despite issues getting a decent recording. This was our attempt at “Wave of Mutilation” by Pixies!
Love it!!
Not being critical here… I would have liked to hear the vocals a bit clearer…
Would have been nice… I know when you are recording raw though, you get what you get.
Awesome job ![]()
Thank you! Yeah, we were disappointed with that. Might’ve been cheap mics? The levels sounded good but when we started playing, the mic volume dropped sharply.
Ya … recording a room that is a common thing… once the guitars, and especially the drums get into the sound… vocals go bye bye.
I wanted to hear the drummer singin! ![]()
Edit: a solution to this is a cheap 4 or 6 ch. mixer … and a couple hot mics reading the room, one on the bass cab, one near the kit. and the 2 vocal mics into the mix as well… then you can take audio right from the mixer ![]()
+1 for mixer, if you plan to play together you’ll want one eventually. However I would recommend 8+ch.
Absolutely … more channels = MOAR better! … you can fully mic the kit, and isolate the levels. You can turn down the solo maniac guitar player … and bring up the BASS!!

Also just run all the instruments in to the mixer, buy a couple powered PA speakers, and everyone can sell their amps ![]()
DI boxes are like MAGIC ![]()
For a bass player on stage… your cab acts as a backup for the floor monitors when you get a bad mix… at least you can hear yourself
Bass always need the amp ![]()
Edit: I would D/I from my amp → P/A then to house. I had 2 zones where I could hear clearly ![]()
Yeah, our bass player and guitarist kept their amps for our gigs, while I went right in to the mixer, as did the mics. Then again I was also running the mixer too.
The ‘Banker’ while playing ‘Monopoly’ strat… I see where this is going!

OMG… I literally just recorded and uploaded my cover of this and was coming here to post it. Great minds, LOL!

You can’t have too much Pixies, especially from Doolittle.
Pixies - you can’t have too much, but you can have Doolittle.
Pixies and BACON … No such thing as TOO MUCH

Great job! I love the Warwick… always wanted one…
nice tone too! ![]()
Sounds great!
Awesome one dude, I really love that Warwick. I can’t believe I haven’t done a Pixies song yet. I might have to look and see how bad Gigantic is to play just to be different. Because there’s no such thing as too much Pixies. Or bacon.
