today was an incredible day. I went to 37 Studios, to record the first song off my EP, "Turn Back Time" my dad and I arrived at around 12:30 noon. Aaron and Gaby were already there, so we got right to work. While Aaron set up the mics and I tuned, me, Aaron and my dad talked about some stuff and we talked to Gaby a bit too. Then we got straight down to busy. I tracked all the guitar in about 4 or 5 takes. Aaron was impressed by how quickly I was able to use the metronome. Honestly, so was I. the first time I used one was Tuesday (yesterday), and then today I was in the studio. ha. When he polished some mistaked, we set up to record vocals. After a dry run, I noticed I missed a section on guitar, so we fixed that up. At this point, my dad left to go finish up some errands (no not aarons;)). Then we started on vocals. I recorded most of the vocals in 1 or 2 takes per section (verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, bridge, chorusx2). afterwards, I went into the soundbooth. Aaron played around with some mixing, and while we chatted. He's going to make me a few different verisons and he's going to just play with it and have some fun. He's adding some drums, and some backup vocals and some other fun stuff. My dad arrived back after a little with tidings of Starbucks for Aaron, Gaby, and me. Then we just talked for a while. Aaron said how much he liked my sound and we talked about What happened in vegas for a little. Afterwards we set up plans for recording again (probably the fourteen of december.)
All in all it was extremely cool and productive day.
a few extra deets.
I'm recording a 4-5 song EP titled "Lyrics In A Notebook."
the first four I already have written, the fifth Aaron and I will be writing and recording together.
The EP should drop Winter 2009. Preferably, Febuary. I'll let you know when I know more specificly.
I'm singing and playing guitar on the EP.
Aaron is my producer, backup vocalist (on the EP).
I record each song for $150.
