Back to the “Bass-ics”
Jeff and I got together at the studio last weekend and spent most of the day experimenting with some different recording techniques on the bass. This involved trying different mic placements on the bass rig and recording a combination of the amp sound with the signal from a DI Box that we connected the bass to before going into the amp. The DI signal sounded pretty weak by itself, but when blended together with the amp sound, it definitely added a little something.
We also started combing through the list of new songs that we’ve written to try and narrow it down to the ones that we think will end up on the CD. Of course, that’s always subject to change, because sometimes what you think will be a weaker song may turn out to be one of your favorites by the time you’re finished with it. Anyhow, we hope to start laying down some basic rhythm tracks in the next few weeks, and then we’ll start adding vocals, layered guitar tracks, guitar solos, etc. Thanks for checking in!
