Some really exciting things has happened over the last two months. I have met some of the most fantastic musicians and have now started playing in a band called Dunning Kruger. The name suggests the Dunning Kruger Effect whereby unskilled people make poor decisions and reach flawed conclusions, but their lack of skill denies them the ability to appreciate their mistakes. The Dunning-Kruger effect is what makes “Britain’s Got Talent” and “Xfactor” possible.
During the last two months we have put our heads down and pulled out all the stops to get our demo recorded. In just 2 weeks I managed to record Dunning Kruger’s first 2 songs, “Winter” and “By My Side” in our rehearsal space. Tracking was done over a series of evenings in this room on my iMac and with various soundcards and microphones we found lying around from the other band we share this space with. Nothing really special to note on any of the equipment we used, except that we found and used a D112 on the kick. The rest of the mics where cheap no-names or Chinese ripp-offs. Non-the-less, we got a pretty good sound for what we had available.
All mixing was done at home, in my untreated apartment, all in-the-box with logic pro. So here it is, The Dunning Kruger Band.
