how to stink up a room...

Why that title? well, lets just say i wish there was a way to transmit smells over the interweb here. like some sort of html tag in which you could embed odor to make a smell come out of the speakers of someone's computer. That way you could get a taste (almost literally) of what our little iso booth was like after last night's tracking. We had Steph singing (who had copious amoust of garlic at some point during the day), Michelle singing (she smelled fine), Christian singing; and when i say singing, i mean farting with a bit of singing in between, and Blue (Rob) playing trumpet after coming directly from working at Panerra, smelling like garbage (but in a good way).
We spent most of the night tracking vocals for "My Faith Looks Up". Here's a shot of Christian warming up. Notice the Mustache left over from Mustache Week at ORB. I'm pretty sure that it helped him nail some pretty sweet lines.


Tim looks on (with a mustache of course). Shouldn't he be running a bowling alley right about now?


So here's a clip of Cwis getting into it - i'm telling you the mustache really helps!:


Steph and her friend Alex check out the action from the back of the control room. Notice the piles of crap everywhere. What a mess. We need an intern to clean up and do the other stuff that i don't want to do. Anyone interested please contact me at pete (at ) jerkrecords (dot) com. Be aware that the job will be thankless, low pay (that means no pay really), and you will learn just a little bit about how to make mediocre sounding recordings.


And Now..... the Action:


Michelle gets serious for her parts. Very Serious.


Here's Blue getting his tooter ready for some tracks on "Savior of my Soul":


Tim and I get one of the MANY amps (that have been left at the studio by other people) ready for some overdubs. Sshhhh... don't tell.


Christian gets one of his overdub lines together. How does he do it? See clip:


How did it turn out?


Once again Tom Sasso took all the pics and vids. Good job my man. It's funny - i told him that shorter clips are better for the blog here than real long ones, so when i got the camera back this morning and looked at all vids, most of them were like 2 or 3 seconds long and totally unusable. I guess that's what i asked for. Here's the man:


OK - only a few more tunes needs vocals and then it's on to heavy mixing/editting.
until next week -
