Finally, as promised, here are a few pics as we work on recording.
Right now we're working on drums so let's take a peek in the studio
...and the man behind the drums:
So what's the process? Since we're starting with drums, Jay will lay down a couple of drum takes with maybe a few different ideas that he's come up with. Then we'll listen and think about the 'vibe' of the drums as compared to previous concept and pre-production recordings. Then we might make some changes and repeat the process. Eventually we'll come to a what we feel is the right sound for the song and we'll make a final recording.
Here's some pics of that process
Jay likes to make notes for himself
and sometimes gets advice from the most unlikely sources
Here's a shot of my messy desk during that evening
And Blaine enjoying the soft, subtle percussion of one of our latest recordings
