Home recording!
Silverwood Studio is going into the studio tonight, after several days practicing our 6 new songs, from blues based tunes "When you go to meet your Maker", through to a new song about the scarcity of clean water on the planet " One Man" and another Folk / Pop song called "Drummer".
We own our Yamaha AW4416 desk, plus we still use the 4 track ( Tascam 424 Mk 111 Portastudio) for practice and structuring the final arrangement.We practice on full P.A. and amps to get a good live sound, then break it down to individual instruments( with a simple drum beat to keep the timing) then add the live drums and finally, the vocals.
We are usually up all night with a few wines or beers, not excessive, as the mind must stay sharp! As we live all around the country it becomes a bit of a re union as well and songs go through a process of re structuring, before we come to the final arrangement, which we capture on a piece of A4.
We are very interested in hearing from other bands who do their own recording, what works for you? What gear you use? How wasted do you allow yourselves to get? How much do you save by not having to hire a studio?
Did I mention fun????
