The Oncoming Humble Revival
As you can see, The Oncoming Humble Revival was recorded a year later than the rest (along with a few other tracks which briefly appeared on the restacked versions of the Ebenezer Stone Albums, although they did not make the very final Ebenezer Stone Album versions). For these recordings I set up in the unfinished storage area on the third floor and recorded without the Rode NT1 vocal mic (letting the Q8 live mics pick up the voice), which looked like this (although there are no keyboard or drum sounds on this particular song):
Also, just for fun, here’s what I looked like (in our kitchen) around midnight on July 10, 2020 when I made a rough initial recording of The Oncoming Humble Revival on my phone:
