Here I am during that first vocal session:
(I'm planning a future post on all the superstitious/obsessive-compulsive habits and tics that you accumulate as aids to your vocal performance. The title refers to the fact that, for some reason, I used to take my shoes off for difficult parts. No idea why. No big difficulty arose this time, so it never had to happen.)
That mic is a Neumann TLM 190, and it's running through the board, a nice vintage pre-amp, and several compressors. Believe it or not, there's a Peavey (!) compressor in the loop. Who'd a thunk it?

starship was up too. this weblog thing is a neat
idea. i always love seeing "behind the scenes" sort of stuff.
they do make you look kinda mean...weird.
Posted by: beth at August 1, 2003 09:29 PMthis is a good idea. It's great to hear day to day updates from MTX. It seemed like there was such a long period of inactivity, getting so much info. like this is overwhelming, but very welcomed! I can't wait for the new album!

On a totally unrelated note, I was surprised to find an MTX CD at Best Buy while I was TDY in Dover, De. I was even more surprised when I picked it up and told one of my buddies that I'd heard of these guys and he said, "Oh yeah, I've been to a few of their shows." I bought the CD.
