Deadlite Redemption Weighs In

Posted on 20. Jul, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

Saturday, June 8, Jessi Maule, Vic Badillo, and the rest of “Deadlite Redemption” rolled in to record a no-holds-barred 3-song EP for the summer. As you can see, it’s a true “live in the studio” recording, with Jesse’s live vocals used only as a double for his actual vocals (which we overdubbed), or in a few cases, certain sections were used as the main vocal track—if it was a better take.

The drums are my own Premier kit, except the snare and cymbals, Bub’s bass is just a SansAmp DI, and the guitars had their own cabinets mic’ed up in the “iso barn”: Vic through his mighty Boogie Triple Rectifier, and Michael through his Line 6.

All together...

...now.

With this live setup,

I have the guys play their solos on the original take, just for continuity, and then I have whoever didn’t play the solo play the rhythm track through the soloist’s rig, thereby keeping the “wall of guitar” going. And yes—sometimes the live solo is the keeper!

They’re slated to be coming in again in August to finish up their full-length CD, and hope to have it mixed and mastered by September.
