When we tracked drums for Actual Natural we booked 3 days (Fri - Sun) to get 13 songs completed. This is a very ambitious undertaking but not impossible as long as the band is ready. Heck, I've seen bands come in, setup, and record drums, bass, rhythm guitar, guitar solos, and acoustic part AND scratch vocals for 10 songs in ONE DAY and they were great tracks. With that same band, a horn section came in the next day and did horn parts (while arranging on the fly) for those same 10 songs - all keepers. I was blown away.

Recording Bass with Frogs Gone Fishin' for Actual Natural
Submitted by Brad-Admin on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 2:57pm
Ah, bass. That lovely low end gets our booties shakin' and we love it when it's mean, when it's nice, and even when it's playful.
Bass guitar for the Frogs Gone Fishin' record was very straight forward. Steven has a great Fender Jazz that we recorded all the songs with, direct, into a Sebatron VMP-4000e with just a little bit of DBX 160x handling light compression duties. Steve later came back and changed it up a bit using a G&L L-2000 and a Tobias on a couple of different tunes a different sound. For example, the G&L is heard on the song Cage.

Introducing Mountain Size Media

Denver was recently found to be the 5th best city for live rock music by Songkick: we beat out Seattle, Portland, and even Nashville in terms of most profitable live music towns. I think that anyone who lives in Denver probably isn’t surprised: it seems that every night of the week features an excellent show, whether it’s a big touring act at the Fillmore or a local band playing next door at Pete’s Monkey Bar.
