Glad to be of help. Aside from the technical aspects, it was just a great group of people who are also great musicians. The songs were good, and the people were relaxed. We didn’t spend any time laboring over things. the entire record took five days to record and mix. Any longer, and it probably would have turned out less interesting.

That's extremely apparent. Thanks again!

I knew if I kept my mouth shut, someone else would post a perfect response. Thank you Kennan. Please launder your trousers and your frock.
The mic on the string bass in addition to the RCA 44 was an AKG 451, which is quite nice for the plucking finger sound.
I'm reluctant to get into this sort of thing too much, because I don't think the techniques or equipment used on a record like Nina's are particularly important, other than doing the job at hand.
Some records are made in the studio, and live or die based on the techniques and equipment used there. Others are made in the life outside the studio and only require a studio and recording to make them permanent -- Nina's records are of this (second) type.
I love Nina's music, I love her songs, I love her voice, I love her band, and I love the way she works with her musicians and Kennan in a trusting, open-hearted way. That's why her records are good, and so I love the records too.
I feel the same way about porn.
best,

I've had this record since it came out. For a while I've known my favorite songs and I'll usually listen to it once or twice a year. I've also got most or maybe even all of the rest of her stuff.I can't account for why this is, but after my usual bi-annual revisit to this record two weeks ago, I've become obsessed. I listen to it once a day and always cry at different points. Just me by myself, really overwhelmed by it, listening at home or driving or even once on a plane. Tears streaming down my face.I am worried that maybe I am heading for some sort of totally unexpected/unwarranted mental snap? We'll see.Anyone, this is now an undeniable top ten record for me.= Justin

I had no idea this record existed until this year, through this thread. This is probably one of the best records I ve heard, in every respect.
