The Great Awakening, We have HIT the studio!

We have HIT the studio!

It seems like just yesterday I was whining about how badly I wanted my music out there, and how it was going to take forever. Well I’ve been scraping up loose change and am finally getting close to enough to afford recording the album. Chris and I got drums out of the way first, five songs in ONE day, BAM! I went back the very next day to track the bass, and watch the drums get fixed up. Let me just say, Mike Austin is a genius with Pro-Tools. My other band Shorelines and Sirens just finished recording there right before I joined. They recorded a 3-song Demo and together we are all going back January to Sacred Sound Studios to record the EP. Although I’m pretty broke, and can only really offer Mike and Gregg chump-change, they are doing their absolute best to make this record come out as fast and clean as possible. The dedication they have is astounding. Mikes skill will probably lead him to a very successful career with mixing/editing one day. Gregg is great too, he and Chris collaborated on some new drum takes on two of our songs which helped keep them fresh and exciting. I’m supposed to head back in Wednesday and Thursday to finish up guitar. However if I can finish it all on Weds I can begin to track vocals Thursday. Then hopefully the mixes will come back quickly after and I can FINALLY let this record spin!
