Recording update
Because it has been quite awhile since my last post, I wanted to offer a quick update.
Recording sessions for the Reality Effect are well underway - "scratch" tracks have been recorded for a total of 8 songs thus far, and for much of this past Saturday (July 29) I had the privilege of recording final drum tracks with the one and only Mike Miller. To say the least, I am thrilled with how the drums are sounding.
On that note, I have one quick funny story - as I was nearly finished setting up the drums and all of the recording gear (I had just set up the final microphone and was about to do a quick sound check to monitor the recording levels of the drum mics), the power went out - for approximately 2.5 hours! Thankfully it came back on, which put us further behind schedule... we finished the last of the tracking sessions at shortly past 1:00AM. Much progress has been made - drums have yet to be recorded for 3 songs, and we will be recording "scratch" tracks this Friday evening for another original song - a new song that the band has never performed live. Barring an unforseen emergency, drum tracks will be recorded for the remaining songs this Saturday afternoon.
After all of the drum tracks have been recorded, we will begin recording final vocal, guitar, and bass tracks. A projected date of completion still has yet to be decided.
Keep checking back here for further progress updates.
