Recording - May 2020 - 29

What about percussion, does Jason
overdub his percussion parts on top
of the initial take? 

We do percussion when doing the drum take, and
even though we're isolating the drums and percussion
with plexiglass, it still bleeds through a little bit. We always make it work, but there's always a little bit of bleed
into the percussion, and sometimes he has to redo it.

What about vocals? Do you have a favorite
vocal mic?

We have a Mojave large diagram tube mic that works for
me because I have a more nasally voice. At home, I have a
Miktek with a lot of high end that I like for more of a bluegrass
all-around one-mic sort of thing. On one of my new songs, which
has an eighties, punk, Cake-like sort of vibe, I've been using an
SM57 for vocals, and I love it. You can't un-vibe it!

When you guys do your backing vocals, is it all around
one mic, or one at a time?

We do the parts separately. Vocals are always fun because one guy will sing
lead, and then we all take turns trying different parts and harmonies. Of course,
at some point, you have to make the choice of what makes sense with the song. 

Michael Kang plays both mandolin and violin. Again, I know live
they're electric, what about in the studio?

Generally, for violin it's always acoustic, but his electric mandolin is his sound. So, he
only uses that unless it's specifically for an acoustic-style number where we want that sound.
