Dagwood Dogs
A few weeks ago I was in the studio with Brisbane band the Dagwood Dogs and a group of fellow engineers to record their single Muddy Funk Love.

Using the Neve Custom 75 console we spent the whole day tracking. Here's a few photos from the day.
As you can see we used the Glyn Jones technique to for the drums. For a little more information on this technique and micing up drums check out my previous post here.
Here is our input list and microphone choices.
After the session we all went about creating our own mix of the song. Here is a video breakdown on some of the techniques and signal low choices I made for my version of Muddy Funk Love. (sorry it's all coming through the left.)

Here is some more information on how I achieved my drum replacement without any other software.

For those of you playing out home here is my completed mix of Muddy Funk love.
I really enjoyed this mix and the detail I had to go to to manually replace the drums was a great learning experience. The band were great to work with great humour and very professional. If I were to do this song again I may have spent a little more time on placement of microphones for Glyn Jones just to make sure there was absolutely no phasing however. this is only minor just something I would take a little more time with next time.
