Chris and I went over to the studio and got right into recording. I had already brought the drum set over and set it all up the night before, and the mics were all in place when we got there. We laid down some basic tracks and then finished most of the drum tracks for "Bedroom Window" "White Lines" and "3 A.M." Sergei showed up and took some pictures of the whole process (which will be up after we finish recording). Tomorrow I will finish all the drums tracks, no matter how long *crosses fingers* it takes.

We only recorded for about an hour today, but I finished all my drum tracks! Tomorrow we get right into the guitar tracks, and hopefully knock them all out.
Thursday, June 17th,
Chris and I went over to the studio again, where we recorded ALL the guitar (and re-did a few drums) minus about 5 percent of the last song. So tomorrow morning we'll be finishing that, and then Sergei records his bass tracks. So far everything is sounding great, but even so, it's getting a little nuts living there.. I'll share my art work as soon as I get the pictures back... :)
Friday, June 18th,
Chris, Sergei and I went to record today, and we totally finished all the guitar and drum parts (I took my set home with me, since we're done and have a show tomorrow night.) Sergei finished two songs (Bedroom Window and White Lines) and along with the violin, is going to finish on Monday. I made more art out of boredom, and then took hundreds of random pictures... there's nothing like a digital camera!!! Can't wait to get the pictures back from Roy...
Monday, June 21st,
Today Sergei, Rachel, and I went over to Cleopatra Studios where Rachel banged out all her violin parts beautifully! Now all that's left is for Sergei to record 3 A.M. and then I get to sing...and then Chris will do his guitar solos...and then we'll practically be done!!! It's all sounding great so far, can't wait to have the demo at our shows!
Tuesday, June 22nd,
I just got back from recording all my vocals... and my throat hurts :/ Luckly I finished all of the main parts...but I still need to do a few harmonies and some other fixing up... Sergei also finished all of his bass parts today! This leaves only a few minor things (keyboards, backup vocals by Chris and Rachel) - and Chris's guitar solos, which aren't minor.
Wednesday, June 23rd,
We started the guitar solos today, and finished most of them. They sound great! We also did Chris's and Rachel's vocal parts... and there's not much left to be done, so we're taking tomorrow off, and we'll finish the album on Friday!
Friday, June 25th,
Today we finished everything!! Chris did his last few solos, I sang my last few vocals, we touched up a few things here and there, and then I did all the keyboard parts. I used cool things like a Square Wave, and some huge grand piano, and "Choir Ahhs." Anyway, WE'RE DONE!! DONE!!!!! Now we just need to wait for the mastered copy, and we'll hopefully have the CD for you at our next show!
The pictures should be up sometime next week... I'm going on vacation now, and I have yet to get the pictures back...
