WOW!!! Today had to be one of our most effective and productive days to date. As set by our production schedule we began aux instrumentation, to do so we employed the efforts Lucas. This would prove to be one of our more wise decisions. We began with Fuck U Lata as a jumping off point, initially our only intention was to add the Congo
drum as it was in the demo version. However, after listening through Lucas advised switching rhythms at certain points to help give the arrangement more diversity. Then once that portion was complete he brought out his tambourine to swag out the choruses a little more. What I found most entertaining (about this lab) was witnessing Lucas mind go to work.Throughout our session I notice a number times were we would state what we felt the song needed and he'd play exactly what was requested, then go back in and comp what he just did and come up with a whole another idea to make everything feel cohesive. One specific point that this happen at was on the song Loving You Allways. We requested a simple triangle and he ends up adding that (triangle), a shaker and this wild ass cymbal roll it was down right awesome. Aside from adding aux percussion we took this time to correct the ride on Shaun's track. For our setup we used two of the mic booth walls and a 414 in the corner. Because we were unsatisfied with the pick up we patched
the mic to through the Neives. 
. In the closing minutes of our session, almost as if it was plan AJ and Danny walked in. It was great because our last day for aux instrumentation is Friday and we hadn't yet locked in any players for our brass quartet. I guess that's it till next time...
