Live from 2020 studios -Kapsel perform Tubular bells

Danny1969

This was recorded completely live with everybody playing at the same time in Live room one. Much as endless drum edits and multiple takes of everything can be fun (not) you can't beat a real band all playing together and recording a performance

Playing together is remarkably cheaper too ... that song cost £20 to record

GIJoe

I like that, it's ace, well done!

@GIJoe thanks muchly

I just wanted to point out this isn't my band, it's an originals band who came in my studio and recorded three songs completely live, 2 originals and this TB cover

What's interesting from a recording \ studio point of view to recording geeks like me is everything was done ol'skool .... all the effects are made by the performers and printed rather than added in post,  and the drum sound comes from the sound of the room it's self and mic placement rather than any cool mixing post production. I was in the control room while tracking and it was pretty much that without a plugin in sight in Protools and nothing added on the desk

I think it's a good example of how quickly you can record if your well rehearsed too.

Nice one, the kit sounds immense too, well everything does

Sounds great. I reckon you need to already be pretty good at balancing your sound in rehearsal though to get away with it, these guys were obviously on great form though.

Very nice, I enjoyed that! Good video as well.

That was great, I'll have to check out some of their own tunes.

So, so true - probably the greatest skill any musician can develop is dynamic control within the group.

The original was played live on the BBC back in the 70s (with Steve Hillage on guitar) and recorded and mixed 'ol'skool' ...
