Recording update

Drums, Korg, Coz vocals and guitars are recorded. Struggling to find a decent distortion for the guitar but the quiet bits sounds purdy. Nicky and Mark dislike 'Mirrorball' for being too camp and want to keep it off the e.p as it won't sit well with all the brooding (boring) indie... lolz

Disaster

Last night I attempted to record Mark and Sauce but couldn't get sodding Cubase to play ball. The lads went home without recording a note and I wanted to chuck the laptop out the window. After they went, I had a break from it all and then realised I needed to install the driver for the USB soundcard! Everything is working now and I recorded some guide vocals and korg, so I could rest my head knowing I had actually achieved something.

Recording update

Leyland came round on Good Friday and we stuck the drums wavs onto my laptop. We spent a few hours adding plug-ins and drinking XXXX and are pretty happy with the drum sound (it kinda sound like the drums on 'Surfer Rosa') It's nice to have good seperation this time around, you can actually hear the kick!!! I'll be laying down my geetar this week and Mark will be around on Saturday to add bass...

The Sound of Drums

We did it! Last night we managed to record the drum tracks for 5 songs, 'Ashes', 'Red', 'Lights Camera Action', 'Nigeria' and 'Mirrorball'. Jago kindly let us use his digital 16-track recorder and we are really happy with the quality along with Nicky's performance.

It took a while for Nicky, Sauce and Jago to mic up the kit but once it was sorted, Nicky nailed each song in 2 takes using a click track with guide bass.

This is a MASSIVE weight off our shoulders!!! Jago and Nicky should have a mix down ready for Easter weekend, then I can start laying down my guitar parts...

GET IN!!!!!
