In this session we continued where we had previously left off, tracking acoustic guitar. As far as our mic’n’ technique we replicated the same setup (a Royer facing body of the guitar and an E22 facing the neck) to help give our compositions continuity. One bonus I notice early in lab was that Nick had re-engineered his bass line on the song Fuck U Lata; this helped to give the instrumentation a more swingy feel allowing Shaun Day to find his pocket easier. After finishing up acoustic we went back to electric guitar to fill in some gaps that had previously gotten overlooked. Once again the set up was the same as the electric guitar arrangement that we had done just a week earlier.
Another high point that occurred in today’s lab came when we were treated to guest solo by Chad. On the song Eastern Blues (working title) Chad brought out his EBO and began belting out chords with so much sustain it felt as though the guitar was singing to you, pretty awesome… I found the fact that we weren’t as rushed by time constraints helped us to take our time and capture the take that we were looking and not just the one that fit. In reference to our production schedule we are exactly at the point that we should be. This means if all things continue to progress properly we should finish all instrumentation by next week!!!
