Banging It Out
Ok… since our last update, we have gotten a lot done.
We recorded the drum tracks for 5 songs: 433, Tabula Rasa, Die in Fall, Plasma and an untitled new song. We have a few of those (untitled songs) so this could eventually get a little confusing. But I think we’re OK for now.
All the basic guitar tracks are complete for 433 and Die in Fall. Bass tracks are done on 433 and Die in Fall is being recorded right now.
By the end of this week we should have all the basic tracks done on those first 5 songs and we’ll be recording more drums.
This is the first time we’ve recorded like this, but it seems to be working really well. Everyone does their thing for a few days and then they get a break, so no one gets burned out recording 10 songs in a row or whatever.
I have to say, so far everything sounds amazing. Malcolm (the producer) has brought in a lot of really cool ideas for our songs. Not so much with new parts or melodies or anything, but more just with arrangement ideas. I think everything is coming together really well.
I don’t want to bore you with every little detail of what goes on in the studio, but if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Click here to email us your questions.
Aside from the recording there hasn’t been too much else going on. We’ve been playing a lot of SSX Snowboarding on the PlayStation2 and watching the Nashville public access channel. Apparently, you don’t really have to know what you’re doing or have a specific idea for a show to get a show on this channel.
We still don’t have any pictures to put up, but we will soon. And hopefully we can get a video clip or two up as well.
