Today myself and Edward ventured into the studio to record one of my personal favorites, some of you may know it as "Cottage Jamboree". Its a country/bluegrass number with guitar, a standup bass feel and some mandolin.
I tracked the guitar first, and it was as tedious as ever, after a few takes I decided to track to a click so it would be easier for the rest of the instruments. Recording acoustic guitar must be one of the biggest pains ever. After finally getting a succesful take we moved on to the bass. Ed was able to nail it in a few takes and we also discovered a pretty sweet standup bass tone we were able to produce. The mandolin was quite interesting to track. It was pretty much one big experiment. It turned out well and I was able to get the vocals down quickly.
We bounced a rough mix which I'm listening to now. Tomorrow I'll head back in to touch the song up vocally and add some extra guitar parts as well as to record a special bonus track for the myspace. Keep checking here and on the myspace.
peace.
