New Song: Death Woke On Saturday (Vulture of Man)

Okay, so I've been up to a little recording this week. There's a new song I wrote that I kind of like and I also have been experimenting with these new R144 Ribbon Microphones from MXL. Anyway, the ribbons have this cool figure 8 pattern that allows me to more or less play live while isolating each track! Which is pretty dang awesome. However, I'm not so sure I like the sound of the microphone as much for my style of acoustic playing. For example, compare the sound of the guitar in the Death Woke On Saturday Demo and the one in the song Caligula. Caligula was recorded one track at a time using the condenser mics on my Zoom H4 This is also totally different than the guitar used in the Who Bought The Sun song which is essentially a direct feed from an acoustic-electric. Not too shabby of a sound but I had to play with just my thumb on that one in order to avoid these horrible sharp sounds (well I don't like them at least) that I get when recording while playing with a pick. Anyway, all that being said I do like the new tune and I even got to use this cajone-bongo thing I got. Although I'm pretty terrible with it so it's buried in the mix under the shaker lol.
