5/2/12 Salsa Session Announcement

Salsa Group Info as of now:

Congas: I don’t know how many drums, though it’s typically 2. Common names for 3 sizes are: Tumba, Conga and Quinto.

Bongos: Everybody knows these.

Guiro:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCiro

Electric piano.

Trumpet (x2)

Electric Bass.

IIRC, the guiro, bongo and one of the trumpet players sing.

We will record them live in the studio.

We will attempt to isolate the E Bass amp in the iso via the Reamper. We will go with the Countryman as a DI. This means the group will need cans to hear the bass.

It is likely the Guiro mic can work for vocal as well. That won’t work for the trumpet or the bongo vox mics.

Mics:

Trumpets: R121

Conga(s): Sennheiser 421 (x2 if 2 drums.)

Bongos: Sennheiser 421

Guiro: AKG 451

E Bass DI: Countryman

E Bass Amp: RE 20

E Piano: DI

Vox (x3): AKG 414 (x2) and Guiro Mic (If that configuration is NG, use a, AT 2020 for vox on Guiro player.

No time to post chain tonight, you guys can begin thinking about it.

Erick is Engineer and will arrive at 5:30. Candidates for Second step up.
