Pics From YOUR Studio

What have you used the Portico on? I've heard great things about that line.
Also, is that a Rockerverb 50? I've come close (many times) to picking one up.
I'm on the edge of purging some of my amps though.

If I remember right we used the Portico on a vocal track (I think Pop Chanteuse), some guitar tracks, and possibly the mandolin on The Best Part. I can't remember exactly which though, we've had so much gear in and out of the studio.

It's actually an Orange AD30r. I've had the amp for about 2 1/2 years now. It's classic Orange British mid-ranged crunch. The AD30's are supposed to be built similar to the Vox AC30's. Honestly a great sounding amp. However, I always record this amp in tandem with a Twin to get the higher and lower ranged freq's the Orange doesn't produce as well.

What amps do you have that you want to "purge"? Also, as soon as we're done re-amping all my guitar parts I'm going to be selling my AD30.

I looked at the Orange AD30 some time ago when I was going for the "Vox" route and ended up going with a Goodsell instead. It happily satisfied the need for the chimey amp need in my life.
I like the creaminess of the Rockerverb 50 best of all of the Orange amps. (they're right down the street from me too, so maybe another reason to consider them again).

The amp that I may sell is a Germino Club 40 Head with matching 2x12 cab (G12Ms). Greg makes a smokin' amp, I just don't play it enough, plus I could use the room.

You've got some nice toys there bro...I bet it's a blast to work with it all.

Those are some nice amps you got. I've heard some good things about Goodsell's. "Chime" is the one thing my AD30 doesn't have much of. I'm thinking about biting the bullet and selling all my amps and going with a Matchless King Cobra or Pheonix 35 or something... but I haven't decided. I really wouldn't want to tour with something so nice but it'd be nice to have in the studio.

Yeah, all three of us have our own home studios so we just combine a lot of our gear, and we have a lot of other musician friends who we coop our gear together. It's fun. But damn, this project has taken us along time. I'll be happy when it's complete.

We have an August 2nd deadline and we're sending off all our files to Matt Winegar to mix.

And the engineer asks the assistant, "Can you move the bass guitar mic out an inch, and slightly more off-center?"

And the assistant shoots himself. :shock:

Seriously, you guys had to be laughing when you set all those up!

So have the Gorgeous Hussies ever played a double bill with the Lascivious Biddies? (The Biddies are a great band, by the way, and would actually go pretty well on a bill with the Hussies.)

Yeah, the mics got pretty harry. But we experiment a lot in the studio and see what we like best depending on the particular song. We like to record according to our ears instead of "rules". The experimenting ends up taking a LOT longer, but we usually end up with solid raw tracks instead of having to mix our way out of a problem. It's served us well so far.

I find it funny how in the madness of that pic, the wires are coiled neatly.

Just like the marketing web you spin. It is flawed.

Google search "The Gorgeous Hussies". This thread comes in 9th. So a fan is going to think they are so special stumbling onto your cache of goodies stored under "Old Man Johnson". Oh so special.

Whilst you pimp your mic cabinet, philosophy and inability to represent product in an upfront manner. I laugh.

Damn, I don't know what's up with this website. I love checking out other's recording set-ups and tracking techniques so I thought I'd share some of my own. I didn't know 80% of the responses would be in the form of snarky/bitchy comments.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at Greener. I can't decipher your passive aggressiveness.

Hey Greener,
These next pics are especially for you...

Tracking piano a few months back...
