My last blog told you about laying rhythm guitar tracks to 5 songs. I used my strat and my hot rod deluxe amp to a click track or programmed drum machine to the proper beats per minute. Then, I put down scratch vocals for all 5 tracks. This got the tracks ready for drums to be added.
My last session Monday May 6th, 2013 we got drums layed in. This is time consuming, because we had to mic em up. Look at the pic below. Big kit and miked up for the big sound, especially on snare and kick. The overhead mics get great symbol sound and we put a ribbon mic in the middle of the room that adds cool effects. Once this was done, we layed the tracks. Bill Sayre of Fast Traxx played drums for me. He has offered many times to do it, and I have always turned him down. This time when he offered, I accepted. I am glad I did. He is a very good drummer and his style fits my songs well.
My next session will be May 21st, 2013. I will put the bass tracks down on all 5 tracks. I am gonna do it myself. I am not the best bass player, but on my songs I am a very good one. I know what I like.
