This was tracked in 2013 under archaic Belmont University rules, meaning that I wasn't allowed access to any condenser mics (or really anything useful at all, for that matter). We got one session for tracking, one for overdubs, and one for mixing and that was it. Blackbird Studio puts Belmont to shame in terms of studio quality and student time on equipment. I actually got banned from booking studio time at Belmont, as a punishment for booking studio time. The logic of that decision was lost on me. Still, I think we got a great sound on this track considering the limitations imposed upon us and the fact that there is a 2" gap under the control room door!

The same song I uploaded the other day, only this one has been mixed with some nice outboard gear. I figured I might as well upload the unmixed and the mixed versions to highlight the difference. Everything was done entirely analog straight to tape and mixed on a Neve Legend VR desk.
