For my Dad’s birthday I recorded him a song.  I’m posting it on here to give a slightly more complex breakdown of a song being recorded.  For vocals and Saxophone I used an AKG Perception 220 (the same one featured in the radio drama).  For acoustic guitar and bass guitar I used a countryman DI (the same one used in the last Anatomy of a song recording.)  For electric guitar I put a Shure SM-57 in front of my guitar rig.  The volume on the guitar rig was set very low.  The AKG and countrymen-recorded sources have a medium room reverb plugin preset on them, and each source has an EQ plugin with a corresponding preset (i.e. vocals would have a vocal eq preset)  Here’s how it sounds.
