MPA 408 Lab 03/1/10 Tracking Guitar cont.



As scheduled we continued on our path of tracking guitar. We used the same setup as the previous session (with a Royer and E22). After we completed all needed electric guitar we moved on to acoustic. In lacing the acoustic accompaniment we used the same mics, placing the E22 on one side of Shawn and the Royer on the other. Then patching them through the to the and then out into Protools. Unfortunately time restraints did not allow for us to finish us much as we had originally planed for. In the last quarter of our session Dr. Waters came in to illuminate on a concept that we had previously covered. He used the analogy of building a house and explained how everything would fall apart unless we had a stable foundation. This explanation was used in reference to the track Fuck U Lata. It seems that the drums were built in the rhythmic patern of swing and the bass was hybrid of swing and straight. So by the time it came time to record the guitar the track started to falter in certain places... As a result Drew recommended manually fixing the points of indecision or re-tracking the bass to correct the issue.
