In the studio

Things are happening on the music side of my life. The band finally decided to start recording a new CD. Last time we did this, we had an excited lad with lots of computers and software and stuff do the recording. He did pretty good. The strongest part of the package last time wasn't the CD, it was the cover. Zenmaster went all the way and made it look awesome. He's got a lot on his plate these days, so I doubt we'll have the benefit of his artistry this time.

It all started with a respected friend who expressed interest in participating in a “better” recording of the band. The ball started rolling and we started putting the pieces together. First we moved all of our instruments into the studio, which is really a garage with acoustic tiles on the walls and an isolation booth with a glass door. Then we started running cables, setting up microphones, and basically building a recording studio from scratch. We have some talented and generous souls helping us out this time. We’ve got Baby Jason, who has devoted not only his time, but his house to this project. He’s pulling things together and makin it all happen. Boochie is a local sound guru who knows exactly what we need to pull this off, and exactly where every knob and fader needs to be to make it sound awesome. He’s making sure we get the best sound out of our instruments, through the mixers, and onto the hard drives. Then there’s Clam. He’s a local recording engineer, and knows all about the studio software. He’ll be the one who takes the tracks we record, and make’em phat. The whole process takes time and patience. My job: play the bass. Wish us luck.

The band formerly known as Jive Market will now be referred to as
EYEBALL ....well…….. maybe

Any suggestions?
