Go Love Your Elf!
Well, tonight, the process of recording the first of The Blue Wires songs officially commenced. I recorded ’scratch’ tracks for the three songs we’re going to start recording on Sunday.
A ’scratch’ track, for those not in the know, is a rough (and trust me, it is VERY rough!), recording of a guitar and a vocal track that Kevin can play along with. The tracks are recorded to a metronome, so it will ensure that our drummer man, and subsequently the rest of the band, are in time with not only the song, but each other!
I really hate doing these types of ’scratch’ tracks because they take a while to do, but they always get thrown away in the end. They’re meant to be disposable. Now if there isn’t a metaphor there for the state of music industry, I don’t know where there is one!
More as it comes.
