Was in the recording studio from about5 till 8.30 tonight. Got the band together. Was a fun and productive time.
We got down one track, as yet untitled. Went well, apart from the lack of directional mics for the drumkit. We overshot slightly due to problems getting the CD to burn. I will have to pop back tomorrow to see if Rob can get it on a disc.
I shot some footage of the band doing the recording which I hope to use in the edit. Some good footage of the band generall just being together. I think it’ll look good intercut as black and white.
I got a friend of mine to do the techie stuff – paid him 20 quid. He’s on good money!
It looked fun to do what he was doing with the sound, kind of like video editing in many ways. I wish I had chosen sound engineering last year, as it interests me. Live and Learn.

I think the track laid down needs some more reverb on the vocals, as there isn’t any at present, so the sound is quite dry in that respect. I will get Ollie, my sound guy to add some on Pro Tools on his machine. I think it will sound better.

I will again be filming the band on Sunday doing their practise get-together, so I will need to book equipment tomorrow as well as see Rob.
