Recording 27/03/2011

"if it doesn't hurt, your not trying hard enough."

Early start this morning! I recorded all of my guitar parts first thing for four songs. I'm currently using a Fender Jazzmaster (Japanese copy) and borrowed Jon's Fender Blues amp. Pedal wise I used a EH double muff for most my distorted parts, applying a EH memory boy delay to get some swell...



Next up I recorded keyboards. I'm currently really enjoying using my circuit bent casiotone keyboard to game some LoFi 8bit sounds. I've been using the same 3 synths for years, I quite like working within these boundaries. I've used reason soft synths but always end up spending hours trying out every single patch...

As I type Jon is laying down some guitar, he's using his Fender Tornado (rad guitar!) through a rat pedal, into his Fender blues amp...


Hopefully get to some vocals tonight!!!

Recording 26/03/2011

"hey man, let's go, measure the airflow..."



Spent the morning recording drums for four tracks, Mat's new kit combined with Rob's vintage mics and analogue desk is conjuring some sweet warm sounding drums...



Dan is laying down the bass as I type playing straight through a 1950's preamplifier... Hoping to get the guitars down tonight, followed by keys and vocals tomorrow. Best laid plans and all that...
