New Music by Echo Picone

[Matt Picone]

Hi Romain,

Thanks for the kind words. Here are some inline answers to your questions.

> Fractal Audio
This is the company I work for. We make hardware amp modelers/FX
processors. All of the guitar and bass were recorded direct through the
Axe-Fx III. I don't reamp. I commit and just re-record if things change
radically.

> ADK Mics
Echo endorses this mic company. The mic used here was the modest Cremona
251.

> SSL
Echo tracks through the SiX as a channel strip into my RME Fireface.

> Toontrack
These guys are my good friends since the 90s. (I used to do a dual demo
for them and Access Music at NAMM shows!) I play drums in real time from
the piano keyboard and then overdub fills and piano-roll the extras. The
kits used here are "EZ DRUMMER MAIN ROOM" and "SUPERIOR DEFAULT".
This track also uses a bunch of free drum machine plugins in Logic, plus
one instance of NI Battery for stomps and claps.

> U-he
Virtual analog synth plugins. Urs Heckman and Howard Scarr. My favorite
synth plugins! I use Diva here for some Juno-esque sounds I made myself.

> How many tracks were approximately recorded in total?

Approximately 90, but half of that are her "Choir" and "Chant" vocals.

Drum Machines: 8. Each instrument on its own track. 4 Kicks. Three
claps. Stick clicks.
Toontrack Drums: 2. (Choruses and Bridge, a separate track for hihats in
the verses). This is multi-timbral though, so I'm using 13 tracks to mix.
Real Bass: 3 tracks. Main, overdubs, harmonics.
Keyboards: 3 tracks of U-he Diva. Lead synth, pad synth, hi string
Heavy Guitars: 8. Main, Main double, "chkka-chkkas", Cleaner in bridge,
Slides, Solos, Tape Echo Strat, Harmonics
Clean Guitars: 2. Strat and Tele
Lead Vocals: 12 tracks. 2 lead and 4 harmony on Verses. 2 lead and 4
harmony on Choruses/Bridge.
Backing Vocals: 47 tracks!!! Super layered choir in the Bridge, and
Chant after the bridge.
