Recording Accomplished!
Apr. 14th, 2014 03:39 pmThe whole band showed up on Saturday and we actually got our last bit of recording done (FINALLY)! The thing we were waiting on was Paul's vocals on the song he sings on. We got a nice little set up in the bathrrom with the mic in a little grill in the bathtub. Yeah. Then Ryan wanted to add some guitar to the song so we brought Jacques' amp in the bathroom and recorded that at low volume with the same setup. Then Ryan wanted to add a vocal harmony on a couple lines. A little later Paul wanted to add a higher harmony too and I joined in with him as well. I was naturally skeptical about the extra vocals, but I think it turned out alright. Oh yeah, and before Paul arrived, Jacques and I remixed "Dismayed" (that's what the one Ryan sings on, formerly "Ivan's Lament," is now called) and "Doctorate." Since we'd already mixed 'em before, they came together super fast. Yesterday I went back over to my parents' to help with the cleaning and stuff. Also helped my dad push a four wheeler and a golf cart to the other side of the yard. Jesus, they were heavy. This was Christina's weekend to have Jason. They weren't over when I first came, but they eventually showed up. As I was saying goodbye, Jason grabbed my leg and wouldn't let go for a long time. He wanted me to stay longer 'cuz he hadn't seen me in so long. Aw. One of my most touching uncle-moments yet. On my way home, I stopped by Target to pick up some school supplies (including a portable electric pencil sharpener that's already fucking broken). While there I picked up a couple dvds: Archer: the Complete Season Four and Community: the Complete Fourth Season. Okay then there was work today. It went alright. I'm ready for this short week.
