I happen to be a huge Wilco fan and I was just curious to see if anyone here knows anything about the production/equipment/techniques that they have used on their last couple of records (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot/A Ghost Is Born), which I enjoy the most. (Also, perhaps any information on other recordings affiliated with Wilco like Loose Fur, Jim O'Rourke, etc.) I'm just curious to hear about mic placements/pre's used, etc. because I love the sounds of both records. They feel very natural and real sounding opposed to most of the records coming out today with processed and fake sounds. Any information would keep me quite interested! Thank you all! Jake |

Soma at the time had a Neotek Series II with 32 or so channels, MCI tape machine and whatever the latest and greatest ProTools rig was (John McEntire loves the PT). Sometime around these sessions and the Tortoise 'Standards' tour John bought the A Range which replaced the Neotek after a few years (!) of work by Shea Ako. Schoeps mics are a favorite at the studio - often into Hardy pres back then or certainly the A Range these days (incredible sound). I think the QTVR photos on the Soma wbesite date from around this period. |

I could be wrong but wasn't the console in studio "a" a trident 80b at this point? |
