Recording today.

We are finally recording today. Fuck yes. We have been waiting so long for this day to finally come. It honestly seems like forever. We spent five hours in a little room inside of Pat's parents' flower shop practicing our hardest last night. We were elated, exhausted, and any in-between you could think of, but we got it done and the end product of these six songs is something I can truely say I am exstatic about. I can't wait for you all to be able to hear these.

Now, there's a drawback... it snowed. It snowed hard. It snowed close to a foot and is still snowing... I really hope this doesn't affect the day ahead of us. We'll see. Maybe I'll post updates from the "studio" if Pat brings his computer. If not, I'll post a wrap-up later on tonight.

EDIT A: Ok, so Pat brought his computer and here's what's happening so far. It is now 7:00 pm and I finished up drums at around 6:30. We spent most of the time here getting the correct sounds out of the microphones, setting up our shit, running through the songs, etc. We spent the last half hour fucking around with the guitar sounds and stuff and Pat is getting ready to start recording lead guitars for Florence. I'm not sure how long we'll be here still, but Justin has been great with recording and getting all of our instruments' sounds dialed. I might post another edit tonight when I get home, we'll see. I'll post some pics on here and on our Myspace of the day. Smooches.

EDIT B: Ok, it is now 10:45 pm and I just got home. We finished up our first day of recording tonight around 10-ish, I'd say. So far, we have drums completely finished, and lead guitars about 95% finished, we just have to go back and tweak a few minor things. We'll be going back to Justin's sometime next week to finish leads, start and hopefully finish rhythm guitars, and the same goes for bass. Then we'll probably have to do one (possibly more depending on if we go for a full day again or not) more day for vocals and any hand percussion (tambourine, maraca, etc.). Then it's in Justin's hands from there and he'll master and compress everything to make it sound amazing. All in all, today was sick. We're pretty beat since this is the second night in a row that we've played music this late and this thoroughly, but we'll survive. Stay tuned for more nonsense.
