Recording Update #3 - The Other Side

Well it's been a while since i've done a recording update, so here goes.

As of now, i've completely finished recording both drums and acoustic guitar. I've now begun the process of recording vocals, which can either be the easy part or the tedious part. My sister-in-law is going to be singing additional vocals on the record, from all the way on the east side of our great country. Things are coming together nicely, to say the least. This is, by far, is going to be the longest i've taken on a record, which will be a good thing. Most times i'll start with a good pace, but then a few weeks in i'll just want to be finished and end up rushing. I'm constantly forcing myself to slow down and focus on quality.

I bought a new shaker. It sounds nice, and looks like a red pepper.

If making a record was like climbing a hill, i'd say right now i've made it past the top, on my way back down. It's refreshing to not be 'climbing' anymore and start focusing on tying up ends and putting finishing touches on things, and starting to hear things come together. The songs are beginning to take on their own personalities and stories, and i'm very happy with how things are sounding right now.

There's a chance i might be seeing the signs of a cold...so hopefully i can fight that off and not be stuck without vocals for a couple weeks.

See you all at the bottom of the hill.
