The song ‘The Blood of a Tax-Paying Man’ has been a staple of my live shows for a few months now. I wrote it after I heard that our government was about to pass a law that would in theory make burglary tools tax deductible for thieves!
I recently bought a beautiful new microphone called the Cardinal, a collaboration between Blue and ElectroVoice. The EV circuitry is based on the microphone that Elvis Presley used and it has a nice, warm sound.
I don’t want to bore you with talk about microphones, however. The fact that I now have two very good microphones enables me to record high quality vocals and guitar parts simultaneously so I can capture a live feeling from the comfort of my home studio.
I figured Taxpaying man was as good a song as any to try out this new setup. Let me know what you think!
Update: The song is on the New Record!
Graag geluisterd. Opname kwaliteit van die microfoon is picobello! Heb je dezelfde mic ook voor de gitaar gebruikt of alleen voor de vocals?
Thanks Peter! De gitaar is met een AKG PP 200 gedaan. De mandoline later ook. Tin Whistle weer met de Cardinal 🙂
That’s great! I like the tension at the end, it really made me feel like something scary was approaching 🙂
Call me crazy but I hear more than vocals and guitar dude
That’s right, I did the vocals and guitar in one take, then overdubbed mandolin, tin whistle, and some more vocals here and there.
Gave song!
