Today was our first session with producer Brian Jacoby. We tracked in MasterMix studio, located at IPR. We got there in the morning. I arrived a little bit late, but while they were waiting for me, they got the mics set up and inputs established. So that was all good. Dustin wasn't with us today. He works for a major retailer, which had a major release yesterday. It is a device whose name ends in "4S." Therefore, he had to be scheduled in order to deal with the traffic related to that. After I set up the drums and after Dillon, Paul and I got back from Foxtone, I entered the performance area to get some drum sounds.
When I entered, there was a really cool mood in the room. The lights were super dim. The performance room at MasterMix has this great blue stained glass window and there are candles on either side of it. It was really comfy and vibey. Dillon and I were both set up in the main performance room and Anthony was in one of the iso booths with his amp and vocal mic.
We had a really great session. We started with "Fluffy Little Hands." It took us a few tries, but we did finally fall into a groove. We tried a couple different tempos. We tried some stuff. And after a couple hours, we had bass and drums tracked.Next, we worked on "Mystic Princess," which was a little more difficult than the former. Same kind of thing. We meticulously looked at tempo, mapping out different tempos for the song. We went over the ending a number of times, trying to get it right, which we eventually did. Bass and drums are tracked.
Finally, we ripped through "Hell-Bent Woman." It didn't take long. We had this one down. That is all. Bass and drums are tracked.
We called it a day and tomorrow we'll be working on "Modern Age." Will Dustin be able to be there? Will we finish all the basic tracks? Will we start overdubbing? Intriguing questions.
This entry was boring. Sorry.
