what can i say, your agility just can't be fucked with. Too bad your one-punch knockout power couldn't be carried over to the chessboard, then i would have really been in trouble.

If I studied chess obsessively I could probably be pretty decent, but it just doesn't captivate me like it did when I was uh....9-10.

Seen this shit about this professional chess player that was arrested and about to be executed firing squad and in order to save his own life he had to win a chess game, which he won, police did not believe who he said he was, which was a professional chess player, and he played chess his whole life.

Arguing with bandmates about the proper way to record songs. I say the drum tracks for all songs are done first and then everything else is done. They want to do one song at a time.
The guy who is doing this offered not to charge so I'm going to try and convince them to experiment with something new because of that.

There are several ways to put down recordings of songs and the “proper” way is the way that everyone feels most comfortable with, not the way the petulant drummer insists is the “proper” way. Stop being a dick and work with your bandmates instead of against them.

I'll never stop being a dick tbh (lol u r wut u eat rite Ozz?). I am open to ideas but I'm also not going to be a pushover and just agree that the process they are doing is the best one either especially if I think there can be a better, more efficient way to do it. There is a middle ground that can be found and my intuition tells me their way is not the best way. In a majority of cases, my intuition has been right.
You are right in saying there are multiple ways to record, but if I can get all the drum tracks for every song recorded in 1 or 2 consecutive sessions, why should it be spread out over several months because the other bands members want to record each song individually? Surely there are arguments for both sides, but the former makes more sense to me.
The problem is that words and ideas can be misconstrued in a text message. Getting everyone in a room and discussing it is more beneficial which is what we've all decided should be done. It could just be me not understanding exactly what the process was during the recording of the demo *shrug*.
The issue with this is that we have a guy willing to record for free, but I would have to bring my own kit. Setting up and breaking down all the time can hamper the sound according to the engineer.
Everyone I have talked to and has actually recorded multiple albums does it that way (tracking instruments individually for all tracks) fwiw especially if cost is a factor.

I guess it depends on what you’re going for. Is it just a demo or will it be a release? If it’s a the latter and you’ve got a studio there to use for as long as you want then I’d say your bandmates are right, take your time and do each song individually. That way each song will have more of its own sound.

Began the job hunt in earnest last week after leaving my 7 years as a broker in September. I hate how all the decent jobs are downtown and I'm setting my sights pretty low for something in the burbs/semi-urban areas paying 55-70k. I could be making 80-100k if I wanted to go all the way downtown but I'm not going to piss any more of my life away with that soul crushing commute or move to that sardines-in-a-can hellhole they call Atlanta. /emo

Nah. I'm very much a comfort zone kind of guy. All the family/friends are here, I co-own a house here with my brother, have land in the mountains, etc. I wouldn't be completely opposed to moving into the eastern Tennessee/western NC area, but there's even less there than there is here. Logically, it would be better for me (career and love life both) to move into the city, but all that traffic and people crammed into one area gives me terrible anxiety that I don't have otherwise. Also, apartments, ugh.
