recording guitar

 today Anthony recorded his guitar for 'I wrote this in your bed' 


Anthony recorded the whole guitar track in one go across a few different takes. He played to the track that the rest of us recorded with a click on. After his best take we filmed him again so that we had footage for a music video. The track now has all vital parts recorded, so is now ready to be mixed and mastered most likely by isaac.

more drum recording + bass

 yesterday on the 10th of may we decided to record drums for one of our songs called 'dead'. we set up a kick mic, a floor tom an high tom mic, a hi hat mic, a snare top and bottom mic and 2 overhead mics. this got all of the sound out of the drums that we needed for this song, as i incorporate all of the drums and cymbals throughout this song. after setting up the mics and tuning the drums to a decent sound we connected headphones to the studio and logic, meaning i could hear the click from logic this time and not from my phone like last time. i think this worked well as we didn't have to line up the drums to the click like before and it sounded pretty tight. for the recording as it was just me and the click and no other instruments i asked anthony to come in the room with me to tell me/sing me the changes. this was a good idea, because all went well and i got the structure of the song perfectly. this meant that my first take was pretty good. we had a break and then did on...

recording guitar

 After recording my drums on Wednesday we decided to record guitar the next day also for the song 'i wrote this in your bed'. Alex set up all of his pedals and we put mics in front of the amp he was using. After he was set up we put a clicl track to my drums and tried to connect it to his headphones. However he said that his guitar was too loud in the headphones and he could barely hear the drums. so we decided to send the drums and clicl on WhatsApp as an mp3 so that he could listen through his headphones, which worked well. Alex wasn't comfortable with playing without either the bass or vocals, as he wasn't used to it, so we set up an auto interface and plugged Isaac's bass in and let him record his baseline to the song. After that Anthony decided to record a basic vocal guide to help Alex. We then managed to record Alex's guitar and after a few takes we got a good one. Next we filmed Alex fake playing to the track coming out of the pa so that we had more foot...

time

 we just managed to get all of the songs recorded and mixed (not very well) before the deadline. I think we may have over estimated the time we actually had, which is why we has to add mrs Jane to our ep, because this gives us more songs in the ep. we came up with a few ideas for the theme of the ep, like the fish idea which I liked. however we didn't have enough time to execute any good ideas. so our ep is just random songs that we've made. no specific genre or idea. this isn't ideal but will have to get the job done.
