Tim O'Reagan's Gear
Used for group vocals on XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.
“We cut 90 percent of the lead vocals through a Wunder CM7 mic, which I really love,” KJ says. “That went through a Neve 1066 preamp, and then a Revision H 1176. Also, in the big room we had a Neumann M149 tube mic, which we used for group vocals. Sometimes all three of them would be singing around one mic.”
Used for the bass drum and snare on XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.
On O’Reagan’s drums, Tveitbakk kept things simple. “I don’t like to do a ton of drum tracks, so I’m busing kick and snares together. I use Beyer m88s on those. Overheads are a pair of [AKG] C12s, and I had a C24 for the room. The Pachyderm live room is one of my favorites for drums.”

Used to track XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.
Tveitbakk tracked to his Studer A827 2-inch tape machine and Pro Tools HDX. “Because we have a very large and very nice [48-channel] API console, we can track to tape and run it into Pro Tools simultaneously,” he says.
