I recorded a drum track with my Arkestra buddy Nathan a while back. Tudikas Wayne Hunnicutt (whose Mutant Boobies 12" is bomb) had this idea of recording a played back drum track in a parking garage. I recorded this drum track with the intention of doing this. Parking Garages don't have power outlets, so I broke out a shitty USB audio interface with phantom power, a large diaphragm condenser, a laptop. I then opened the doors on my car and cranked my blown out 6x9's as loud as I could. The pres on my USB interface suck and there isn't much gain and my car doesn't have much junk in the trunk, so I got shitty recording levels ( like -50 db). I limited the shit out of the live recording and rolled the high end off to get rid of the noise floor from the mic pres out (it didn't matter cause most of the sound was in the mud range). Below is a stream and a download link. It was strange music experiment, I thought I was going to have the police come up and ask me what the hell I was doing.
