Into the Primordial Studio Diary Part 5

This evening we began the arduous and unforgiving task of recording the geetahs! Tim beat us to the studio tonight, and once Nick and I arrived from work Nick began setting up the guitar mics. They spent about a half-hour adjusting the guitar tone before they began recording. Tim decided to lay down the lead track for “Wings,” because we had a limited amount of time tonight; we didn’t even begin playing until almost 10 pm! All in all, everything has gone very smoothly for the past few days. Tim nailed the lead parts in record time, and tomorrow we can move on to other tracks. Nick wants to record ALL the rhythm guitars, then ALL the leads and ALL the clean-tone parts, because he wants a different mic setup for each specific guitar tone. Tomorrow Tim intends to lay down the remaining rhythm and clean tracks and hopefully finish up the leads as well. We’re working under a time crunch at this point, as Tim and I only have another 4 days left in the country before our trip to Europe…
