Still Working Hard In the Studio!

The view from our office on studio days.

 
Well folks, we're still working it at the Four Door Studio of Real Big Records! This is the part of the process where our own guitar, percussion and vocals are finally complete, we've got some drum  and bass tracks added and it all sounds better than even we expected! We're discussng now what additional instruments to bring in and on what songs, so there's still plenty of work to be done.



Ever wonder what your voice looks like graphically? Well, CD's looks something like this.



Or maybe what a song looks like graphically, track by track? It's something like THIS!



Obviously, we're not going to make the hoped-for Labor Day release. This whole process is a lot more difficult than we originally thought! We're completely confident, however, that we'll have our album at Meeting of the Minds in November. As our good friend (and co-writer on one song!) Loren Davidson advised us to do, we're adding two months to our expectations...and maybe another day or two. Or three......

Dave Marshall, our intrepid and infinitely patient producer and engineer, hard at work.
