jettster Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Congrats!! Putting out a CD and doing most of it yourself is a ton of work.

Jack C Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Thank, DG, will send on Monday. Hope you enjoy it. El, I've never heard of the Wildhearts, but I'm checking them out on YouTube. I'm digging what I'm hearing.

Steve Haynie Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Just curious... Jack, do you offer lessons in how to be cool?
Jack C Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 It would be about as useful as driving lessons from Stevie Wonder.
Steve Haynie Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 It would be about as useful as driving lessons from Stevie Wonder. Whoa, dude! That is sooooo deep. Yeah! Stevie Wonder drives the way HE wants to drive and never sees anyone else as a roadblock to his goals. Thank you for this lesson in coolness. You rock!
Jack C Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 Just saw this. Very cool! When will the link to the show be up?
cynic Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Sandwiched between Clutch and Kings X....and it fit PERFECTLY!
Rockola Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Great stuff, Jack. Got the CD player pulled out of the dash and recovered all 4 discs after the mis-load, Tested with Goonch and voila!There's a treasure chest of tones on this thing, folks. Tight, fun and full of heart. Thanks for the hospitality, food and friendship.S
Brooks Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 jack, did you record this at home or go to a studio? if at home, tell us what recording gear you used (software, outboard gear, mics). the production is killer.
Jack C Posted May 4, 2013 Author Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah, it was all done at home on an early version of pro tools. Honestly, there was very little production. I like big, dry, simple, unprocessed recordings, so every for pretty much every song, I recorded the rhythm gtr track without reverb, repeated, and then panned the tracks hard L and R. My secret weapon is an old homemade isolation cabinet that I bought from Paults many years ago. That let me really crank some small amps like a Univalve. Used a Sm57 and a cheap ART tube preamp. No outboard gear or plugins for guitar. Some solos and rhythm tracks were through a Pod.Just about all the bass tracks (12 and 4 string) were recorded direct with a split signal through a Sansamp BDDI and a guitar Pod. Very simple and I think the bass sounds good. I've heard that on King's X recordings, they always had to double the 12ver track with a 4 string bass to get a solid low end. I didn't do that and I think there's plenty of bottom - like on Get Strange. All the low end comes from the Sansamp and the tone comes from the Pod.Except for a couple tracks where I used acoustic drums, the drum tracks were played on an electronic kit. It doesn't sound as good as a professionally recorded acoustic set, but sounds much better than I could have recorded an acoustic kit. Plus, my pro tools setup only has two inputs, so I couldn't have used more than two tracks for drums anyway. Most vocals were through some cheap condensor mic. Any distorted vox were through a Tech 21 XXL pedal (I hate that pedal for guitar but love it for vox). I used a little plug in reverb, eq and compression. That's it. Oh, and on tracks 1 and 6, I recorded my Les Paul through a distortion pedal through your Super Pimp. The SP rocks!
Steve Haynie Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 The Goonch is the must have album for all HFC members this year.
Jack C Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 is the goonch another name for the 'taint? Sometimes I think it might be something next to the taint, but I'm not sure on which side.
David B Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 is the goonch another name for the 'taint? Gotcha in the Goonch
