Guitars, vocals, lots of stuff!!!







Now, this has been a very productive weekend!!!
Bruno Bernardo finished his guitars, solos, cleans, acoustics. For the heavy stuff we used the Engl Powerball through an Engl 4x12" cabinet with 2 SM57. He used his Gibson Les Paul guitar, and to get even a different tone from BKD. solos we used a Audix D2 microphone in the cabinet.
Our dear friend Célia Ramos from Mons Lunae/Red Rose Motel and several other projects travelled south to sing with us in one fof the songs. We used a Audio Technica AT4050 microphone and a Studio Projects microphone. Along with Célia, BKD. and Bruno Bernardo did some singing also.
Also Éolo Ámon-Rá finished some keyboards which we could already listen to, and now we're starting to get a feel of what the songs will sound like!!!
Next step will be vocals!!!

New studio update!!!







Now, BKD. guitars are done and Ruben is going midway through the bass tracks recordings. For the guitars, BKD. used a Fender Stratocaster and the custom JP guitar for the solos. The Engl Powerball was used with a 4x12" Gallien Kruegger cabinet, and 2 SM57 mics. Clean guitars went through a 1973 Orange amp and a 4x12" Framus cabinet. Also an acoustic guitar was done using a Neumann KM184 and a Studio Projects microphones.
Ruben is using the Ampeg SVTIII head, an Ampeg 1x15" cabinet and a 4x10" Gallien Kruegger cabinet. The homemade sub microphone we made and a SM57 are being used to track the signal.
