Well-known member
my fellow audio geeks,
my name is Jake Loew, and I'm an audio production major/music minor at Ohio University. I headed a trio this quarter with my baritone uke. When we decided we wanted to record, my friend Steven Warstler, who is a great engineer, agreed to help with the process. The question became how, and where?
We decided to give it a try in a classroom in Bentley Hall. The rooms are quite big and usually empty. Unfortunately, 2 rooms down the hall from us, a huge choir was singing gospel songs and playing djembes. Despite the noise, we recorded 10 tracks. (you can hear them at the beginning and end of some of the tracks)
All the tracks were recorded live, and they came out with the sort of rough-around-the-edges sound that I wanted them to have.
Instruments include:
a double bass, which was recorded with a rhode condneser mic, and a D.I.
an acoustic guitar and backing vocals were recorded with one AT4040 condenser mic
lead vocals captured with an SM58
baritone ukulele played through an acoustic amplifier captured with an AT4040
you can download it for free at www.jacobstrio.bandcamp.com
and like us on facebook too!

let me know what you think of the album or how the process effected the outcome.
Best,
Jake
