Recording again

Ok, laid down some final tracks for Garden this week and put down some scratch track bass lines for Turn Around. Doug's studio lost its air conditioning. For those not in the know, we're recording in central NC. Temperatures yesterday and today were 100 w/o heat index. Sweeeeeeeeet! (not) (update - still missing vocals in the final part of the song. some philosophical debate as to whether "ooh's" will suffice or if the section requires lyrics, or instrumental is fine as is. there is one section that cuts in a little early which is currently being fixed. will post when finished except for mastering. Feel free to weigh in with comments regarding what you think of the song.)

So we don't get started until about 9:30 pm - yeah I know, that's actually pretty early in this biz but we're talking small studio, not high volume big city - just so the place can cool down. Have you ever tried singing in an isolation booth in a studio w/o air? Must try it if you haven't. Bright spot - humidity in the room was really pretty easy on the voice. Bad spot - sauna's can make for uncomfortable places to sing. Secondary bright spot - if you're trying to lose weight it's a quick fix for a couple pounds :) Hopefully will have a good scratch for TA posted soon. (update - Doug's place has a new unit so the air is back up and running. I guess he thought that watching me come out drenched from the isolation booth was a bad thing LOL)
