I just got a tentative offer for some free studio time in a decent studio environment.
(as in minutes ago..)(tee-hee)(strange but true)
I have material to record but I am a little nervous about it, considering the last time. (Manhattan et cetera)
Les and I are not talking.
I am considering asking him if he wants to come and participate, seeing as how he won't have to run the DAW at all. (Get away from that board!!!) lol
He'll play keys, no mixing and no mastering. No percussion to program. (using a real drummer) And none of his equipment, so it'd be pretty much even keel. (Just play the music, man.)
I kind of think he'll get mad, considering he likes to mix/master and considers himself to be the final arbitrator on what's being done..
But the problem was never with his playing and the studio should be able to curb his mixing board urges/moments of doubt/temptation to rewrite that which does not need to be adjusted.
Am I pissing up a rope again>?
Or should I let him know the scoop and ask him gently if he's interested?
I figure the worst he could say is no. The rest I already heard.
But he really is a good keys player, possibly the best so far, so I am tempted to ask. I kind of think he'll say no, but I am sure of nothing these days.
I got another guy who can play keys, but he's not at the same level.
Plus he's playing along to whatever is going on, Les was at least equal in that he was writing right along side of me and "I didn't have to do all the heavy lifting".
If I don't take Les, I'll go it alone.
Easier to record and then I can always regurgitate the vittles back to the baby birds later if they are hungry.
What do you think?
