Vocal tracking update

gse — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:22:11 +0000

Evans: sick. Has trouble remaining standing for long. Wants to quit music.

Stripped-down rig for vocal tracking. Which will sit idle while gse finds his sea legs.

The lonely SM-57

Guitar’s done. Started vox. Vox for the next week or two when the room has open nights, and then mix.

Day 3

gse — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 07:35:13 +0000

Did guitar overdubs today. Vocals next, then we’re done tracking.

Most of today looked like this.

Tracking, day 2

gse — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 07:52:22 +0000

Finished basics this afternoon. Struck the mics, moved everything back where it was before we moved everything, re-set up the recording gear, did guitar overdubs all night.

Tracking, day 1

gse — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 07:49:24 +0000

Got most of our basics done today.

Miller had food poisoning.

We had lunch at the mall food court. In the middle of downtown San Francisco, that is where we ended up eating lunch.

My head feels like a balloon.

Lists

gse — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:42:37 +0000

There’s my list of stuff to pack tonight:

Well, about half of the list. Also, Kiss Alive II.

In closing, these Ziptape things are the shit for labelling cables. I roll RW51.

Recording diary: we’re not recording yet

gse — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:01:28 +0000

In a few days, we’ll set up shop in our rehearsal space again and start recording our next opus. Recording is TOTALLY RAD if you’re like me, and pretty boring otherwise. But we’ll try to post some pics and videos as we go anyway.

We’ve spent the last week or two fine-tuning the new songs, and by “fine-tuning” I mean “showing up to practice too drunk to play” and “ordering a new A/D converter with next-day shipping.”

Here’s a picture of me practicing scales:

Also, everyone loves my Earache sticker. 1991!
