Today was a busy day in the studio. As soon as we got in Todd and Thom began hooking up the microphones in the booth to begin tracking acoustic guitar. We'd end up using the same setup to lay down the scratch vocals as well. If we haven't explained that one before, "scratch" tracks are tracks that will be thrown away. They are just thrown out there for a point of reference.
Although today was one where we sat around a lot, it went very quickly and it was totally cool because the songs really began to come to life. Here's a video of Thom laying down a Bass track on "Don't Tell Me It's Over". One thing to note, you can tell the vocals are scratch vocals because there are points in this video that you can't even hear the vocals as we did not do any microphone placement.
We did notice that Kaci has been doing all the photography and hasn't been in many pictures (none in the studio yet), so we plan on changing that tomorrow. Nothing much to say, so we're just going to show you a few rooms of the studio (more pictures of the guitar\vocal booth to come tomorrow).
Here's the console where the mixing and overdubs are controlled. From here, Thom can have a conversation to whomever is in the booth.
Here's a picture of the couch that Kaci and I park it on while checking messages and working on songs. To the left of the couch is only one of the many racks of guitars and racks of effects. It's located at the opposite end of the room from the console.
Here's the drum room where Brett lays down the FOUNDATION of ROCK!
That's it for today!
