February 4th 2003
Finally!! We get to start work on the new CD and
I am really excited. It's a bit colder here than it is at home but
this IS home for the next five or six weeks so I'll have to get
used to it!! And obviously we've had to change our plans quite a
bit since last year so a lot of things will be different and will
take a bit of getting used to of course!!
The first day or two will be set-up days and time to start working
on sounds and so on. As you probably know, when you move acoustic
instruments (drums, guitars etc.) into different environments they
take time to settle into new temperatures, humidities etc., so even
though we got the drums sounding really cool by this evening there
will still be some adjusting to do tomorrow.
The main room here sounds fantastic but it's quite small so we will
fill it with drums and microphones and record the bass direct. This
will avoid any unwanted ambient sound getting into the drum mics
and I'll also do "scratch" guitar and vocal tracks from
the control room. If need be we can always re-record the bass or
send the direct signal back into an amp and record it again on a
separate track which gives us two tracks to "mix and match"
or simply to choose between.
The objective is to get "killer" drum and bass tracks
down and then start building "the big picture" from there.
The guys have worked hard with the demos so we'll create the final
arrangements now.
Back to work… "talk" to you later!
Next
day...
