Wow! 100+ days.... separate two musicians by a couple of continents, 12 timezones and add full time jobs, and things take a while. But finally we have a song.
In total time spent it's been two weeks but that's included remembering the song, working guide tracks backwards and forwards, recording the track properly (in two rooms on different continents ), learning how to use a DAW, learning how to mix with compression, eq, reverb and how to fatten vocals, warm guitars and programme drums.
It's a shame that we never got to use a live drummer, but it was one thing less to learn.
So here is the journey by sound.
I can say that I am a better musician than I was six months ago and Ed never ceases to amaze me as a songwriter, producer and bass player. And there's a lot to be said for the excitement of getting up in the morning and finding the next version of a new song waiting for you on Dropbox.
And now we have got an album in our sights.... but we know how to work it now so a song a month is the target we've set ourselves.
More soon
