Small Update
Hi again.
Real quick before i begin: i know the videos on the last blog were not showing up correctly. I am looking into that and will fix it. Keep checking back daily. They will show up eventually.
Last night was a lighter night as far as attendance goes, as Sandy was having a super meeting upstairs with all kinds of MOPS women. That's mothers of pre-schoolers for those not in the know. It's a christian women's support type group for moms with little kids. they meet at our place once in a while to plan their yearly curriculum or something. I think they were up there having a raging kegger or playing poker. Anyway - they needed it a bit more quiet, so no loud amps or drums for this night. Also, no waves of ORB recording types coming up and down in and out of the studio rummaging through the fridge and my snack cabinets. So, in attendance were only Christian and Michelle. Before the Ladies Upstairs all showed up, i was able to do a drum track for My Faith Looks Up, which is what we were going to try to work on for the session. Here's what the drumset looked like with microphones of all sorts pointed at it:
I got a new toy for the studio and i am loving it. Usually my new toys are really expensive things that do things like "make the microphone louder" or "make that signal quieter and then louder". But this one everyone else in the session gets a kick out of.
This thing is a wireless remote control for the computer recording system. It lets me start and stop playback, add new tracks or takes, rewind, fast forward, undo, save, etc etc. from anywhere in my studio. Very Cool. It's great for thos who do a lot of recording on their own. For me, often when i record drum parts, i'm in the control room pressing "record", then booking it through the amp room into the drum isolation booth, hopefully in time to start playing. If i screw up, i need to run back and undo, rewind, and start again. For our session last night, i used this for recording Christian doing electric guitar overdubs while totally relaxing in my chair not hunched over the console.
Here's a short video clip of Christian writing guitar lines while sitting on the control room floor. Check out the sweater he's rocking.
We got most of the foundation tracks of this song done, so it's on to vocals next. Michelle worked on her homework while we fiddled around with the knobs and whatnot:
Thats about it for today. Next session is thursday morning with Christian again. See you then!
