recording update...

So it's been a few weeks since my last update on the recording progress. The boys and I spent an evening in the studio with Terry Tran recording a live off the floor version of my song "Someday". A lot of people have been asking me why I decided to do a live off the floor song when every other song on my album is being tracked. I guess I just decided that since I probably won't get the chance to do another full length professional recording for quite some time (since I'll most likely be broke after this one) I wanted to experience a live off the floor recording and throw in something completely different on the record.

We did 11 takes and took the 11th take. Every time we recorded the song it just felt better and better. To be honest I wasn't really expecting to take my live off the floor vocal, I thought maybe I'd record a final vocal at a later date but I was pretty happy with how things went and will be using my vocal from the live recording as well. My dad came to visit us while we were in the studio and took some pictures of the action.




  
 After recording Terry also interviewed for me his blog.

 

So there's the latest news on our progress. We have three sessions booked over the next two weeks, and I am hoping to be done by the end of April. That gives us May to edit, mix and master and hopefully we will have a digital release for you in June! I'm planning on doing my official cd release in September. Looking very forward to having a finished product to sell! :)
