I came across an old demo of “Standing Here For Days” from the Fury Stopper sessions.  I haven't heard this in a long time.  It's basically the first take I ever did with the song.  I'll be damned if I can ever capture the drums on tape like that again.  I remember that I recorded the guitars directly into my Yamaha AW16g without using any external preamp or anything - just plugged directly into the board.  I used the AW16g's onboard amplifier simulation for the final guitar sound.  The vocals sound pretty decent.  Despite the lame guitar tone, the mix as a whole is pretty good, and I think I like it better than the final track on the CD.

That sweet, trashy hi-hat you hear on the demo is a 14“ Zildjian New Beat on top with an old, cracked 16“ Wuhan on the bottom. 

I also came across the very first track I ever recorded with the AW16g.  It's a remake of “Snow” off of the OS CD.  Download the Snow Remake mp3 here.
