Mic test-wise, I moved the 414 EB&#8217;s back to Overhead duty on the Kit. H47 on Kick reso and Guitar, with u195&#8217;s on Floors. Also decided to go the &#8220;Hard route&#8221; &amp; dust off some hardware to create a Shimmer verb with an H3500+Lexican 200. Bassline is covered by the Ole Moog RME, with some drum sequencing on the Octatrack. Shot some video here and there and ended up with what looks like a gear fap session.
