Living Room Recording Comparisons

Here's a snippet of a trio recording I did in my living in a really low tech way: one mic on me, one on the tenor (Ben) and two mics on the drums (Dylan).  No isolation, no baffles, no overdubs, no ulterior motives.  What?  You can record that way?

Anyhoo, I made 2 clips, each one comparing what I did to several tenor/bass/drums trio recordings that I like.  Bonus points if you can guess the other recordings.

Here's the first one:

And here's the second:

Did I mention that all of the mics were either modded or built by me?

Another tune

On the Sounds page is another tune I wrote  which was recorded at the same session as this one.

Lincecum No Hitter and Mic Samples

On the Sounds page is a tune I wrote which I recorded using my mics.  The k-47 on flute and tenor, the K-7 on bass and the two tube mics on drums.  Nothing was amplified and there was no isolation, just acoustic instruments and the room.  Ben Herod on sax and flute, Dylan Stokes on drums.

Oh Yeah, this too.
