I’ve put this studio together to satisfy my needs as a musician. Pitch correction, Cut & Paste or Quantising do NOT have any place in my studio! I love big natural sounds performed by real talent on live instruments!
No Computers!!
THE GATCAT STUDIO
HOW I RECORD GUITARS & BASS
First, I choose a guitar depending on what tone I am after.
(Not even half of my guitar collection)
Then I select the pedals/pre-amp based on the tone I am after
I can then use one of two methods of manipulating the tone
90% of the time I'll double/triple track the guitars to get a full tone. If I need stereo effects I use a Zoom 5050 through the IR200's stereo effects loop
HOW I RECORD VOCALS
Vocals sent into valve mic pre-amp compressor then EQ'd
Everything else is sequenced on my Kronos
Everything recorded to 32+ track Tascam
