The recording process
September 27th 2006 08:37
Been in a band for a while and we recording with our initial lineup a couple of years ago, but it was never released and that was pretty shit. Right now we are recording a new set of tracks with a pretty different looking lineup and it will be ready very soon. That is the background out of the way.
The recording process has nothing on the live performance. It is a boring and arduous process needing much repetition and I would compare it to rehearsing. Nothing beats the live gig for sure.
The first place we recorded was in a dude's house and it was great that it was relaxed. We drank the good stuff and ate without hassle, but the guy was a weirdo and it was way too far away.
This time we weren't meant to drink near the gear and there wasn't anywhere for me to relax, but the gear was good and the guys were into the music and cool. It hasn't taken very long at all and it looks like we will have a CD within a 2 week period. Oh and apart from the cost of the tape - yes we are recording on tape, it was free.
So what would be the ultimate? Free recording, in my house studio (no I don't have one) beer flowing, guys doing it who love reggae and a 2 week turn around for the release. It is a nice dream.
