We recorded on Saturday afternoon, in order to improve the quality of our demo cd and to lay the foundation for a cd of a quality we feel good about selling to people.
Now, in my past experiences (albiet few), recording has been a pretty boring, uncomfortable, and frustrating experience. Either the engineer didn't seem to care about our sound much, or he tried to make us sound like something he likes, but that really isn't, you know...us.
Well...honey, this was a big change from all of that!
He had our drummer come in the night before and get all the drums miked, tuned, etc. Everything in the studio was ready for us when we got there. Ran through some songs to get the levels right, and we were off to the races. This engineer kept us on track without making us feel like we were being bossed. He made the entire process *fun*! I've never really had fun recording before!
The unmixed live tracks already sound better than anything I've ever worked on. I can't wait to hear the finished product!
We're going back in to do some more recording on Saturday, and then we'll go in individually and do tracks for whatever we think we need to.
I can't wait!
