I’m in Liverpool right now. Should be home Tuesday. Wednesday at the latest. Since we’re flying stand by on employee passes, we’re still working out how we’re getting home.
 
Next week we are recording our first release…. Its not the way I wanted to record and I dont feel exited about it.

I have a feeling it will be shite..


So, majority of vote went to record live and overdub mistakes….

I wanted to to do it properly section by section…. But its not happening that way….

We have sound engineer recording/mixing using good mics… He has experience but Im doubtful…

Well, we shall see what will be the end result…

I have some art work ideas ready which is below…

I have my share of experience with that. It can be done well…AS LONG AS THE DRUMMER IS ISOLATED. If the drums don’t have bleed from the band, and the rest are only “close mic’d”, you can pull off some incredible stuff…with (nearly)invisible overdubs…and yes….I've gone in, and manually gated drums to make this work. It’s a PITA, but usually worth it, due to the energy inherent in live play.
Also: It should all be done without moving mic’s, or changing any amp/preamp settings…or you will never “unhear” it.
 
Going from my own experience, the bass is most important to be isolated. It bleeds into everything. If you guys are really well rehearsed, and everyone is at the same level, a live recording usually works best. Especially when you are all in the same room, and then amps are in iso or whatever. Energy feeds well off of each other, and that's why I've always liked recording live. And do it the way you play it live first. Then you can punch in over mistakes, and then add colorful overdubs. Just don't let the "we'll fix it later" mentality take control (it will bite you in the arse). Try to hit it in the first two takes. Depending on the studio layout, get the bass isolated first if that's the only isolation room. It's ok if guitars and drums are in the same room with baffles staged. The frequencies are similar for bleed through, but don't have a ton of mistakes. You'll never get rid of them. I hate to say this next thing, but don't be afraid to pick isolation to the weakest players. If you know someone is prone to the bad note, get him isolated for fixing later when space is limited.

Good luck, I hope it comes out awesome.
 
We are recording this weekend and thats my rig for recordings….

My guitar parts are done, today is vocal day.
Most of recordings are guitar tracks ( double this) add squeels here lol

Sound engineer was very pleased with us so far and lets see what will be the end result.

My arm still feels tired from tracking last night….

I’m not 100% happy with my takesp, if i had done my parts at home myself i get better takes….

Anyway… we shall see what will come of it.
