So far…so good? At this point, we’re messing around with the Fostex to figure out recording basics. We managed to record a rough cut of the rhythm and vocals…then I overdubbed some better vocals onto another track. Mike’s having a hard time with the lead so we’ll wait awhile on that one. He’s not used to playing the electric guitar so we decided to just jump back to recording the lead acoustically.
The interesting part of recording are the little things…like we now know you should count up your song…1,2,3,4. Because when it came time to overdub some leads, we didn’t know when the thing would start exactly. Alright, that’s a lie…we know EXACTLY when it will start because there’s a clock on the Fostex…but we were having a hard time watching the clock and trying to start at the exact time. Anyhow, we’ll know for next time…count it in! 1,2,3,4.
Which brings me to a point about recording…here I am thinking we have to be all professional and have our track start out perfect…who cares? Once we’re done the song, we just have to trim the countdown at the start!
I think a recording basics course would be helpful but at the same time, I’m sure whatever we find works…works.
