On our last studio night, KB and I spent the evening (and I mean the entire evening) getting two good guitar tracks for an upcoming song (currently called “What’s Mine Is Mine”). We wanted to get a good dose of feedback, and a nice crunchy tube sound for the tracks.[…]
Studio Night
Studio night: surprise cover [part 2]
So there we were, only a couple rounds of idea juice into the evening and suddenly ready to tool around with covering an old Tubes song. The rhythm track I set up was similar in tempo, but a lot more “drunkdude-like”, and Mike and K jumped onboard immediately. Within a[…]
Studio night: surprise cover
Apparently I get a lot of mileage out of commuting. Yes, that’s a terrible pun and I’m just not sorry. With about two hours in the car every day I’ve got plenty of time to listen to all kinds of music. Songs we’re working on, new music from artists I’ve[…]
Studio night: mix tweaking
We spent studio night listening through and finishing mixes for the upcoming record. With Beamer and KBilly adding some fresh ears, and Mike contributing some notes as well, we were able to knock out tweaks to about 90% of the material. I can’t stress how great it was to have[…]
Song evolution (part 2: a rough edit)
Continuing from part 1 (a jam), we pick up with the evolution of the song “The Next Minute” which will be included on our upcoming record As Big As You Can Get It. Typically after a studio night is over, the guys head home and I stay up until the[…]
Studio Night 5/4/11
We had a pretty productive evening here on Wednesday night. We’re focusing on finishing the tracking for the songs we plan to release on our upcoming third album, and last night was all about bass. Mike recorded bass tracks for two songs last night: “The Next Minute” and “50 States[…]
Refreshing our Martini
We updated some guitars for our upcoming song “Martini”. Original guitars are in the first round, and then at about :10 the audio cuts over to the new guitars.
It wasn’t the same without him
We enjoyed a short but productive studio night last night, which you can read about here. We were, however, one man short. K-Billy had to travel down to Cincinnati for the evening. Despite not being able to make it, he apparently spent some of the evening visualizing that he was[…]
Studio night: February 9, 2011
Mike, Beamer and I convened this evening to try to finish some of the remaining tracking for the upcoming third DD69 album. We focused on replacing the bass part for an old song called “Another (Funky) Day” that is a candidate for the record. We hadn’t reviewed the tracks for[…]
Studio night is never long enough
While recording bass for an upcoming tune (“Bartender”), we wanted to capture some video of the bass part being recorded. You know, for posterity or something. We kept trying to get the shot of the final bass part, but wound up with a lot of outtakes. And just as the[…]
