The four of us got to the studio around 12pm or so. We loaded in (very steep stairs, not a lot of headroom), and it took quite a bit more time than it probably should have. After getting the rigs and gear physically loaded in, we configured the mics, took a few basic level checks and then got ready to do some tunes.
Chris and I talked about how we were going to set up for the sound. We put a DI in between my guitar and the head, and then a mike in front of the cabinet (in this case, a Peavey 4x10 from the studio). I haven't been a big fan of Peavey gear for a long time, but this cabinet sounds really good. Surprisingly so.
Brett's drums would be miked with a stereo overhead, directional mikes at the toms and each side of the kit, one on the snare, one on the hi-hat, a big ol' mike in the kick, and then one overtop and another underneath the congos/bongos. Aref and Shahin had their guitars directly miked just to the front of their sound hole, with Shahin's MIDI outs running directly into the board.
