Sometimes I've thought about buying a Zoom H4n (or another similar) just
for the same goal: recording stereo overheads along with 1 mic for snare
and 1 for kick (3 mics technique). Now I know it works, and quite well as I
can see. BTW, very useful that tip of using room emulation with close
overheads.
Thanks for the extended info.

Hi Alex.
I'm just listening to the downloaded album and I'm totally agree with the
other LAU folks, the album is really good: a tasty mix of Jazz,
experimentation and even a little progressive at times (ie the sound of the
Mellotron on track 5).
I think this won't be the last time I listen to it.
So, you have already list the gear you used to record. BTW, very clean
and professional recording. I would like to know something about how was
the process to the final mix, given that you played it all and it seems in
different (maybe distant) points in time.
Thanks for sharing.

There's not really much to it actually.. I haven't put way too much time
in the mixing/mastring process.. just the usual of getting things to fit
compression, eq, and some automatation... In the stuka song I have only a
h4n as overheads + kick and snare but no tom mics so the sound stands out
alitle from the rest on that song.. I allways emphasize the 1100hz region
on the uprightbass to give more of that buzzy sound, I'm using the 4-band
parametric eq... I've been refence listening alot to The Bad Plus as this
is the band that has inspired me the most lately.. I use the same panning
idea they've got on most of their songs, eg bass and piano to the sides and
the drums !everywhere! -_- It really separates things! I also make use of
the ir-lv2 plug alot, mostly for room emulation and reverbs.. I record the
drums in a bad sounding, boxy garage so I put the OH's quite close to the
drums and use room emulation instead.. as for mastering I really just try
to get the levels sort of the same with a limiter...
