Recording Post 3
So today started a little less early. No alarm at 6 am, which was good because we hit the hay at like 1am. Everything got going and we finished up the scratch tracks for the songs. Scratch tracks are just basic guitar and vocals track that are laid down with a click track or a metronome to help all the players know where they are in the song. Anyway, laid down the scratches and we moved onto more drum tracks, we’ve hammered out drums for Bones, Armor and Haunts the Road. Next up are Hello, Soft Machine and Take it Easy. We”ll wrap these up and get into the bass and other parts. Here’’s a picture from up high in the loft: Matt’’s laying down most of the drums with the exception of some parts on Haunts where David and Matt pulled out a couple of floor toms and an old kick to lay down a beat for Haunts. We got some cool tones and I think you all will really like it. It was finally time for a dinner break so David, Matt and I walked 30 ft to a real mexican restaurant. This place was crazy good tacos. I ordered two beef, 1 chicken and we ate tacos till we were all full. They don”t make food like that in Seattle anywhere, I”ve ever found. So So good. Now we are back at it, getting the rest of the drums down and then onto bass, vox, and the rest. Its a short update but there’’s more tomorrow.
