All Analog Recording With Gorilla Chief

Gorilla Chief visited MetroSonic today to record 3 new songs for their upcoming EP. The session was 100% Analog, making use of our Ampex tape machine, and tracked directly to 2” tape.

The New York based Garage Rock trio did all of their basic tracking together in our live room and we used some of our most sought out vintage microphones to capture their great live sound, including an RCA 44 prototype and a SONY C37. For one of the songs we used our large room to capture the 2nd guitar using our Silvertone Amp, placing the microphone at a distance, resulting in a HUGE natural room sound that suited the grittiness of the band sound beautifully.
