Yes despite my promises I was painfully silent last week when I promised exciting updates on how my recording was going. As it turns out, moving your PC into the lounge away from the wireless internet dooberry (technical term) means you (a) don't really have much internetty access (I guessed) and (b) didn't want to use the computer in the evening after spending 8 hours on it recording during the day.
Also I don't believe my housemates who generously approved my lounge-based home recording plans would have been desperately excited about the prospect of me sitting typing out stuff when they were trying to watch Eastenders.
So anyway it was an interesting 40 hours of recording - some raging successes musically speaking, some painful agonies during which I nearly threw my guitar across the room and took up hard drugs (only joking about the drugs). To say with hindsight that trying to record an album in 5 days was a slighly ambitious undertaking would be a slightly (deliberate repetition) understated statement. I don't even know if that statement makes sense.
So I can't chat for hours but I will say that I got some great stuff done - we should have at least 11 tracks maybe 12 - the arrangements are nice and interesting, the vocals are partly done, partly not, and I am seriously looking at spending some money getting it professionally mixed (since I'll be asking you lot to spend some money buying it). The downside of the mixing bit is it might not be ready before Christmas - but hey at least when it is ready it will be extra cool rather than a bit of a strangely mixed ear-sore.
Very excited about how things are sounding so far and will endeavour to keep you updated as I go.
