Did a lot of work today. I forgot to mention that on Thursday I did indeed record a new take of my bass solo for 10K. It was a success. Got a couple minutes of mixing in before Spades & Poker became the events for the evening. Friday got a good amount of mixing done for 10K also - finished up the bass & started on the vocals. Yesterday I think I got a couple of minutes in of mixing Jenn, but not much.
Today, however, was the big day for work. Finished all of the mixing of 10K - vocals, any distortions I found and all of the (many) final passes-through before I committed it to wav file and then converted to aac and sent it off to Jenn for her thoughts. I'm pretty happy with it. While mixing, I remarked to myself that I really like the song. I'm proud of it, and this is the best recording of it so far. Fuck yeah.
After a short break, I moved on to Surround By Trees. There was a significant amount of stuff I still needed to record: all of the guitar parts, bass part (which had never even been attempted by me) and my vocal. I didn't get to my vocals today, so I'll do that tomorrow. I did, however, get all of the various guitar parts recorded & edited (3 different tracks combined) and of course the new bass part. Did a little bit of editing of the drum part during the "solo" section since Josh and I weren't on the same page. No big deal. I think all of the guitar and bass parts sound really good on this and I have to say that even at this early stage of the song, I'm really fucking happy with it. It's still my favorite song we do and I was really happy while working on it today.
Tomorrow - my few vocals and then on to the mix. Whee!
