Wow! A third straight week in the rehearsal studio and actually plug in! Well...they were only Tuesday's, but it's a step in the right direction. Things still feel great, and the little piece that we came up with sounded just as good as ever too! We even went one step further yesterday and put the little piece/track onto tape. That in itself was a great feeling to me. I can only assume that Mike and Rook' felt the same, but I hesistat to put words in other people's mouth. (But I am still going to assume that)
Mike got his snare drum worked on recently and I noticed the difference and improvement in the way it sounded last night. I sounds really good. With his new heads on his kit and the new snare, it just sounds really great. I still have a thing or two to work on as far as my sound/tone comes out. I mean, I am not totally unsatisfied with my settings at the moment, but I am not entirely happy with it either. For now, it is ok, but I definitely have to work on improvement there.
The little track that we put to tape, sounds really good. I can really hear other elements that can be added to it, but for now, we just learn to crawl. It has a lot of potential. I won't compare it to anything or any other band, I really don't like to do that, but it is something more similar to an instrumental band. I mean, that is the first thing I thought when we kind of put it together. There is definitely room for more stuff to be added too. I really dig it...
On a more personal note, I am finally starting to feel a lot better around things that are around me. Work and energy levels, really. Things seem to be getting a little bit normal. There is still a lot of things to do around house and all that good stuff, but I am feeling much better. I actually thought to myself on two or three separate occasions about how much better I felt today. This despite two back to back nights of not sleeping well. I have held up great so far. I hope that this trend continues for me. I especially hope that Mike's job situation and Rook's family situation calms down a bit too. If for some reason they don't and things get crazy for me again, I know that there is always studio time to make us all feel better...

nice! studio time to me is when I feel most creative and alive and the fact I get to share in that creativity with you guys is just awesome. I'm really glad the recording turned out okay. We can work on some fine tunning and possibly look into the pre-amp idea as well. maybe a few tapeop message boarders might be able to provide some insight on how to get the most out of recording in a studio space of that size. can't wait to get in there on a saturday and really lay some ideas on the table... now about that band name!? LOL
