Studio

It is just after noon. I just woke up. That is really cool.

We went into the studio last night to work on recording some new songs and to get a better version of fanatic. It was so much fun. We started at 7 pm and finished at 3 am. I think that we are planning on those same hours tonight. It was a great experience to be in there working on our music. We got a lot more done last night than I thought we would in one session. David finished all his drum tracks for all 3 of the songs and Isaiah is all but done putting his Bass tracks down. Tonight we are going to do guitars and vocals.

Being in the studio really makes you play and hear the music in a different way. I was playing the guitar while David was drumming so that he could hear in in the headphones and know where we were in the song. We started out playing to a click track (metronome). That is SO hard. It is really tough to play your music and try to be perfectionistic and mathematically accurate on all of the timing, but still feel like it is art and expression. It is different to try to put your feelings into something that is that regimented.

I am going to go. I just thought I would give you all the update.
