The 11,426 mile recording session - Day 50ish. The song lives.

How this all started

The whole sorry tale

Well here we are at Day 50.  This week we've completely re-recorded the guide track with the new structure and arrangement. I've just finished loading and mixing Ed's bassline into the guide track for As Good As Ordinary Gets. And it is sounding great.  It's actually a song.  (The vocals are for guide/comedy purposes only. No autotune here).

Now we've got the structure and guidetrack finished, it's time to record drums. I've never done this before but the plan is to have Bungi (drummer) play along to the guide track while we record it. We'll mix it all down on to a stereo track and then it will be like traditional recording, bass first then guitars and finally vocals. Sounds easy.

Except Bungi's never played to click tracks and I've never recorded drums. What could possibly go wrong?!





Bungi - left handed drummer plays right handed kit.
















Current likelihood of success = UNKNOWN.

Here's the guide track of the song.

  1. If you want, give me a shout when you're ready for vocals and we can add some more miles to this. Loving your work
