Artisan Guns - Crowded House Cover

This room mic on the Piano sounded great, its a shame its very quiet in the mix.

Had quite a long day recording Artisan Guns covering Crowded House song "Private Universe" for a Crowded House covers compilation album.



Reuben played a really cool muted pick bass part, for a slightly more even controlled mute over all the strings I stuffed a cloth under the strings at the bridge


lots of Drums were recorded, we started with a base of kick snare and floor tom and then Alex added Shaker, Tambourine, Woodblock, Cymbals, Hi Hat and a Tom pattern on top.


Later we doubled the Snare for a thick Phil Spector-esq multiple drummer sound.



I mixed the song late last night and today to get it sent away on time to be mastered. Phewph.

  3. Oh man, I used to love Crowded House around Together Alone times. Wish someone had asked me for an ukulele thing <3 Not very original I reckon. Sigh.
