I went into the recording studio last night for 3 hours and laid down 5 original songs.
Decided to approach it old school.
We lined my CORT acoustic into the board, set up a little condenser mic on the neck and another condenser on the guitar body, then Andy close miced the vocal with an SM 57 of all things.
I just sat down and played thru the songs a couple of times and then just laid them down. Were there mistakes, well hell yea, do I care at this point well hell no. These are kinda coutry acoustic singer songwriter songs. Im going back in tonight and lay down a couple more originals and then a few covers just for the hell of it.
Once I get them mixed I will put them up, and some pictures of the recording area.
Its really kinda neat and a lot of pressure to sit down and record this way, but this is the way Elvis, Johnny Cash and guys like that did it in the old Sun studio days. I just thougth lets simplify the process and I will get as many down at a time as possible instead of trying to build them up.
Anyway I was stoked when I got in last night and looking forward to another session tonight. You guys have a Great Day!
