Today I am in the studio working on my full length album. While it is cool to say that I wrote all these songs, played them, sang them, recorded them, and mixed them myself.... it is also very lonely. I am beginning to miss collaboration. Spending an 8-hour day in the studio is not as fun as you would think! Sam Webber and Darek Cobbs laid down the drum and bass tracks LAST August (2009) and have probably forgotten all about this! It is fun to listen to the studio goofiness that was had by listening to the pre-roll and post-roll of each track. Those guys were fine studio fun! (not to mention some of the best musicians around!)
So anyways, back to work. Today is all about the electric guitar. All the acoustic guitar tracks are laid down so today is the electric. Since I am alone I am WAY over-tracking all my tunes. For my clean electric sound I am using an SM57 on my amp run through an Avalon 737 and then taking a direct feed from my Boss GT-10. For the distorted, I am losing the direct feed and doubling with a 2ft away micing with a Sen 421 (also through a 737). So 2-tracks per record... and about 5 separate records.... so the tracks are starting to add up. Anyways, wish me some studio luck. I think I have about 5 tunes to go!
