The takeover...

I feel at this point i should probably start writing some stuff seeing as I am just about entering the proceedings stage left...

as has already been mentioned, my part of today was fumbling around in search of the holy grail. after several hours of gain tweaks, clever parallel signal routing, phase adjustments, mic placement, saddle raising to accommodate overzealous playing and about a million test recordings, we cracked it. high mids with character and a warm rounded bottom.

got half a song done too!

lessons learned for tomorrow: bring packed lunch to avoid improvised smelly sandwiches. leave shoes on. set cowbell to 'kill'.

Iain.

a bit of everything!

well instead of getting one thing done, then moving to the next and so on, we're doing a bit of everything as we go! Today we sorted the bass sound and then recorded some, we also did some vocals too! Good times! Iain leaves his wallet everywhere, proving easy to steal. take note. He also likes pepperoni on his sandwich!

Games?

I have never seen such a non game as this!

Yet I can't stop playing!

Today we got on with more guitars while taking breaks to send our tour manager voice notes about willies and how he has no balls!

Onwards!

Well we get in today, turns out that we did not like the guitar sound in the morning. We worked on it further and ended up reverting to an older setting and placement. Ohh well, finally we're getting on with it and getting on nicely!

Drums Finished

Well today we officially finished recording drums, before we said goodbye to Leks as he went off to prepare for a friends wedding we got up to some fun that Slipknot would be proud of! Check it out!



After that we started setting up guitars and working on a guitar sound to start putting them down tomorrow. Lets just hope when we get in tomorrow morning we still like what we hear!!

peace

Drums!

So a week has passed and the drums are now finished! The usual barrage of farts, pub-metal vocal relief and studio cabin fever was endured but ended up worth the while. We even got to see the Williams F1 car testing at a nearby airfield on our break!!!

Check the video for some of the action from last week!

More pictures and videos soon!
