Goodbyehome in the Studio: Episode V
Yep. Still recording.
More and more is getting done, though now that the major work is done, the minor work is increasing - and has been taking more time than anticipated. But all in the greater good. This album is sounding fantastic by the track. And there are a lot of them. Christine has turned into an entire string section for a number of songs. Brilliant work!
She completed a number of violin tracks, and has since moved on to more vocal work. The two of us were recently in the studio recording our respective backing vocals. Vocal harmonies aren’t as easy as they look… Especially once you actually take a look at them in the studio setting. So we’ve been spending a lot of time just on vocal tracks. But man, when they’re on, they are a thing of beauty!
I’ve been laying down the beginnings of a number of electric lead parts, which has been tremendous fun. I also fell in love with the Fender Jagmaster while recording lead overdubs for “Impossible Light”. Such a wonderful feel, and an even greater tone. This song is going to explode when it is put on the album…
More guitar tracks to lay down, including an army of chiming glorious guitars for the closing bars of “The Groomsmen”. Some of these songs are becoming more epic than we ever would have anticipated.
But that is all for now. The night has grown late… The weekend approaches, and with it, a day off on Saturday. Sunday, the trio returns to resolve a few vocal harmony issues, and make more progress with the record. It’s August already…
