Charlotte dobbs opera

Once you mic a drum set, all the mics are going to be the same for the duration of the recording session. Producers will then use that same template on a lot of different things, so recording can go faster. Each song was started from scratch with a different collaborator, each one recorded in their own home studio.

Ramsey says the song was like a practice project for Marshall. From there it snowballed. Dobbs and Ramsey recruited Charlotte bassist Anna Stadlman to play on the song.

They emailed him, and Forrest happily supplied the big crashing drums.

Sergel sent back 30 tracks, only eight of which were straight drums. Dobbs and Ramsey each included their own alter egos on the album, parts of a group of kids running amok in the hotel.
