Recording Diary v57

More recording of "Cause and Effect"

We started with a little guitar, running the Les Paul via "11". The part was a simple rhythmic pattern but I'm not sure if we will use..

Last night Brain came by and played some Piano (Mrs Mills/Abbey Road) for the chorus section because I cant seem to do it very well. After 3 or 4 takes we had the part nailed. Brain played the main 8th note chords and then we overdubbed a the bass notes. Expertly done sir. Thanks.

Next we busted out the trusty Ebow, which seems to be used lots on this album, and recorded three tracks of long string like harmonies for the chorus. Both Craig and I played.

After that I played a simple "answering lead" part for the chorus with the Les Paul via 11. Two tracks were used which were panned hard left and right. Good effect

Then we added a simple Tubular Bells part for the chorus via Abbey Road refill.

After that we noticed the original bass tone wasn't really working so well (tuning was weird as well), so Craig fired up his sweet ass Fender Precision (with new fresh stings). This did the trick as the bass has a nice rumble to it. We then redid the bass for the whole song.

After that I drove Craig home and went to buy cat food.

It's exciting. Really.
