Weekend recording session

Just got back a little while ago from recording over the weekend. We spent a total of 13 hours recording between Friday night and Saturday. Practice a part, record it. Fuck it up. Record again. And again. And again. Once more. Fix problems. Smoke. Drink a beer. Fix more shit. Trip over cords. Smoke. Record. And there is still more to be done! My buddy is doing the final mix this week, and I hope to have the final version in my hands within a few weeks.

I think it turned out great. We recorded to an 8 track, and mixed down to a four track. There's a total of 1 drum track, 1 bass track, 2 vocal tracks, 2 guitar tracks, and one track for overdubs. Drums were mixed through an equalizer and we added some reverb. The bass was ran through a Turbo Rat for some great distortion. On the guitar tracks we used to different guitars ( a Les Paul and a Strat) with two different amp setups. We recorded the vocals IN the Melvan. It made for great acoustics, and a great story. It smelled like mold and beer in there, and there was a dead bird and a dead rat on the floor. Good times.

I can't wait to hear the finished version. It's goona be good.








I also got the Mel-van pics I needed to get. Sent em off to the editors a few minutes ago. I think my work is done for now. I'll have to wait n see if they want more.
