Recording and mixing and playing and hangin'.

Title sums up the basics as of late. Finally transferred the tracks of the live Chance Jones set on the final weekly show at the B.O.B. One of the channels was nothing but line noise as there apparently was a bad output on the mixing board. The audio seemed to turn out okay for the most part. Only checked out a few songs thus far, but it seems to lack some keyboard in the mix due to the malfunctioning PA channel, but I'll try to mess with the eq on it. Kremo said while covering the console, he realized there was a bad output channel and panned everything center at some point in the show to compensate. We'll see what happens. The mics picked up a decent sound, so there's that to work with too. Not sure on turnaround time on this project, but I'll probably pick out the songs that turn out best and focus on those. Started picking through a guitar riff that just kind of popped up at expunk practice the other week. I'm glad I remembered how to play it. Threw 3 guitar lines down on "tape" and will be bringing it to practice this week to work on additional parts and arranging with the blokes. I think this song will be pretty cool once we get it down. I'm eager to get more songs worked out so we can get another album out this summer. That band is kicking some ass in the writing department. Tomorrow brings two practices. Expunk, then Chance Jones. Chance Jones is practicing to get Ryan(Jarrod's sit-in keyboard player) further acquainted with a few songs before we head to Kalamazoo and Chicago this weekend. It will undoubtedly be a great Wednesday. Looking forward like nobodies business to this weekend in Chicago for my birthday. Life is good.
