My band is recording this month.

[New Horizon]

We're going to record a 5 to 7 song demo CD and shop it around to see if we can get a full album recorded. Once we have the completed tracks, I'll share them with y'all.

 

It's a pretty busy month for us so far. We've got 3 shows lined up, first one is tomorrow night.

[Capela]

Well, good luck then.

I'm all tingly with anticipation!

Good luck/break a leg/et al!

If you need a mastering job, NH, you know where to find me

[sparhawk]

Good luck, NH. Was this a spinoff from your performance?

[New Horizon]

Thanks ascottk!

 

@Spar:

 

Not really, although maybe a little bit. I'm not sure what the dealings were. We recorded a single for a compilation CD of local artists back in August. The guy who did the recording is going to be around until the end of September, so we're going to book a week with him to record a few demo tunes. All paid for by us, no freebies.

[Maximius]

Best of luck NH!

[Redface]

If you need cover art for the CD, I'd be glad to help. I always wanted to do one

Good luck. Recording usually takes a lot longer than expected unless you've really got everything down--the pressure kind of messes things up a bit. Hopefully you're picking a professional recording engineer, otherwise it just won't sound very good. Believe me, the money is worth it. A mediocre recording no one will listen to.

 

(If he has you guys recording without a metronome, watch out...my band had a really bad experience with a discount recording service provided by a friend of the singers. We now have to go to a professional recording studio just to make up from that mistake, the results just weren't good. He claims that he can't get the mix files to this engineer for whatever reason (I didn't follow the drama) but the mixes were shit. I could have done a better job without experience.)

We recorded with the same guy back in August for a compilation CD and we were very pleased with the raw tracks. We nailed the bed track on the first take. Didn't use a metronome though and haven't heard of any of the bands around here doing that. We're tight though and know the stuff we're recording inside and out. We aim to capture the raw sound of our live shows.
