White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground - Lead + Bass (Sterling Morrison, John Cale) - 1080

Описание

I decided not to add Lou Reed's rhythm guitar as I don't yet own a Gretsch Country Gentleman, but when I get one (very soon) I'll do some more VU songs ;)

Because this song was recorded very low fidelity, loud, distorted and mic'd very close to eachother, I had to record this song directly into my focusrite Scarlett 2i2 through GarageBand, because I don't think my neighbours would like the sound if I used my amp! I used the closest setting I could find to a Vox speaker.

For Sterling's guitar part, I used high bass, low mid, and a little treble and some small amounts of gain. I also simulated the amp being mic'd closely with a 414 condenser microphone, and a simulated 4x10 speaker cabinet.

For John's Bass part, I used the same guitar speaker, with mid bass, low mid, treble on full, a small amount of gain, and the drive setting engaged and set to 2. I also simulated close mic'ing with a 414 condenser mic, and a simulated 4x10 speaker cab.
