Story behind the song
Here's another entry in the originals category. It's a live recording of the Christian Rock band I was in back in the late '90s to around 2001, Sackcloth & Ashes. Recorded on my Tascam 424 mkII, using 4 mics: a Rode NT1 over the drums, an AKG 3400 on my Carvin amp, a Shure 57 on the Fender amp my longtime friend and picking buddy Terry Wanamaker played through, and a Shure headset mic on drummer/singer Angie McGee (an amazingly talented woman). We trusted we'd get enough bleed from Terry Warren's bass amp (don't remember what he was using) that we wouldn't need to worry about it. I don't remember what software I used, but I mixed it down to the computer using my effects rack for reverb and compression. I just remastered it, finally able to get a lot of the phasiness out of the drums, and getting a lot fuller sound than I had. (It's amazing what you can do with software once you start understanding how to use it.) Anyway, I've always been proud of this recording because it was completely written that night just before recording it. We were jamming between songs there in Wanamaker's basement when Angie got a lyrical idea for a rhythm part I was playing, and it all came together in a matter of minutes.
