progress on the ep

several pics from Saturdays drum recording session at Red Rockets Glare. im also trying out Wordpress' image integration to see if i like it... usually id just do it manually...

recording the drums was an intense and grueling experience.

in the background is Wendy the in-house recording engineer. thanks Wendy!

now we're going through the tedious process of reviewing our takes and splicing the drums into a coherent whole. i just put in an order for a Sansamp Bass Driver DI and an Art Pro VLAII Compressor. never mind the fact that i have next to nil audio recording knowledge and that none of us have a clear idea of what attack ratios or variable thresholds or flux capacitating exactly entails. thats completely beside the point. thats not looking at the big picture, kid. venceremos.

we're shooting for late August/early September as our target date for the EP. stay tuned.

drums

fueled on red bull, gatorade, peanuts and banana chips, we tracked drums for 8 hours yesterday at Red Rockets Glare Studio. it went well, but a few more years of practice would have helped. pics coming shortly... today we're onto the bass...
