The triumverate was back in studio on Thursday night continuing our section of the recording. Once again, Joe and I were doing guitar work, with Coop running the board. We fixed some earlier miscues (it's funny what you hear when you listen several times), then moved ahead recording solos and extra guitar work. We decided to record solos through a mic into the board rather than run a direct feed to eliminate, as much as possible, the pick noise which happens as the pick attacks the strings. We both used a Fender 212 with a condenser mic set at the speakers, and studio foam wrapped around the amp for noise reduction. So 8 songs are ready for phase 2 which will begin Saturday when Lou comes in and begins recording bass tracks to the 8, and, if we can run an extended session, we'll begin recording the last four tracks.
The next piece of the puzzle will be recording Coop on percussion, which I'm hoping will happen within the next three weeks. So far, we are on course for a summer release...well maybe mid summer....well maybe later summer. But I know that the excitement is there for this CD. Lou and I haved had this in our heads for almost 40 years (YIKES!) and the band is really looking forward to this. The Buckingham Brass is already making plans for us to complete this CD and begin a pet project of theirs, which will be to record a Christmas CD. With an August start to that project, we have the chance to put 2 CDs out in one year...very Beatleesque if you ask me!
That's it for now. we spent five hours in studio Thursday night, and are looking forward to our next session. ttfn, Lib
