Something I recorded with my tranny friend from N'awleans a few months back when we were really shitfaced. She may look like a lady but damn sure doesn't sing like one, at least not here. Sounds like friggin' Jim Morrison or something. :lol: I think we were two bottles of Merlot plus whatever else in a piece by the end of this.

Live off the floor, IIRC. SG --> my AC30, with me playing a '50s Harmony archtop with a glass slide into a Fender Champ + miced up close with an NT5. Think there was a 57 up close on the AC30 and my ribbon up on the Champ. Vocal mics are distorted to all fuck. KSM27 for the lead vocal and Beta 58 for my backups I think. I think I'm running Decapitator on every track. :lol: There is/was a version where I overdubbed some drums on this but I suspect I wanted to hear it again as much as anyone else did and it probably went the way of the buffalo. :barf: You do not want to hear me play the drums.

Nasty down-home-on-the-Bayou country blues played by about the least down-home country blues people you could find to perform it. :mob: :cop:

On my list of records to finish this year. At least it's a proper diverse list.

I'm only singing the backups on this. :idk: But I appreciate the compliment all the same.

It is interesting, your friend almost sounds liek you on this. I mean not like how you normally sing, but like it could be noises that could come out of your voice hole. Sounded a bit different on the older tranny jam you poasted.

This is a pretty cool project, no doubt. You can have a lot of fun recording it i think. You need some oldschooly microphones, methinks.

Like this:

That just looks like, how this should sound.

Now if only the vocal situation for my metal project could sort itself out. It would be quite the coup if I had three bands with Vocals That Don't Suck, even if two of them (at the moment) don't gig. :lol: As far as I can tell, most bands are lucky to have one halfassed singer.

I've actually thought recently about getting a Copperphone:

That, a harmonica mic and some ribbons and I'd be set for this one. And a nice out-of-tune piano.

'Course that doesn't stop me from wanting an AKG 414 (they're retarded cheap used, compared to the thousand bucks they are new) and a Bock 195. But those will come with time.

What do those copperphones go for again? I checked once and forgot. :red:

I think they're like three bills new?

I've been trying to plan out studio purchases with the neuhaus in a couple weeks and as I rarely track live drums (and bring in another engineer and do it in a different room anyhow) having tons of A/D and killer pres is less important than having D/A, a nice board to mix on and cool mics to overdub with. (And a few killer pres. And compressors. Stuff that doesn't say 1176 or LA2A on it is still cool and much cheeper.)

I really dig the production. It's pretty ambient and it sounds like it's been fucked a whole bunch. Bit of an AIC vibe once the dual vocals go on?

I'd be lying if I said there's no AIC and King's X influence here.
