Ack. First time in over a year. Filling in for someone who managed to get himself in a car crash on holiday...Luckily, I know the songs. Mostly... :/

Wish me luck.

OOh where're you recording, and if you find out the rates please do tell :) And if they're any good (after recording, obviously)

Good luck :)

Using an aquaintance's studio. Looking to turn up and just get on with it. I was going to be helping with the mix anyway so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Goddamnit. Got to memorise these :/

Disclaimer - I didn't write anything :/

Take you where I've never been before,
Mouth of God seems appealing now,
Take my hand, I'll rearrange the core...

How does one do that? Hmm? How does one kill a man? It's one thing to...to dream about it. It's very different when...When you...when you have to do it...With your own hands...

You know you are, and it's you I'm running for...
I'll rearrange the core...

Straight afterwards we're out of town,
Hopo the fences, hitch down the road,
Head-splitting scenes repeating themselves...Are relevent to me now.

Shut the door, Don't break it down,
These laws of men will shut our town,
As I shelter, I turn to you and you're hollow...

You know you are, and it's you I'm running for...
I'll rearrange the core...

Oh, I, I can't fight,
I know, gone...

I'm setting forth again,
Two lives have passed away,
While I have carried on...
_____

When you're home we're leering,
Cameras show our hero standing over him,
You make that list and talk at length,
In this darkened room...

We may share our heartache,
But we don't want your sympathy,
It's not for you to pull us through,
Change our form,
We'll do this on our own.

Spirals form on the walls,
The cracked veneer is flowing,
Now, its breathing,
Look, its beautiful,
Be still, my son...
Everything is fine.

I don't want to move away,
I am one with everything,
I've analysed, Scrutinised,
I'm trying to find my way back home.

We are home, we are home, we are home.
We are home, we are home, we are home.

Free your head, for your head,
Free your soul, anywhere,
Free your soul, anywhere.
Go anywhere, go anywhere.

Dancing in shadows with your relations,
Consecrate those relationships because,
Tolerance brings a need to turn away and follow in her steps...

Cut it from you, walking from you, let me help you, you're my type of girl...

To feel the same, I feel the same.

Challenge my preconceptions,
Challenge all of them,
Sharing solutions for problems that didn't exist until we conviced ourselves of their being,
It's great because it lets me...

Cut it from you, walking from you, let me help you, you're my type of girl...

To feel the same, I feel the same.
Two feel the same, I feel the same.

Oh, you'll wait...
There's time and you'll wait...

Oh, I'm breathing, look,
I'll find you, down this road again,
I'll trust you to guide me on my way
I'll trust you to say it anyway...

Starting to brick myself :/

Razor blades oot.

Only joking, good luck. Will it not be a bit strange for the band you are playing with as obviously you won't be playing it exactly like the other guy (although you might make a better job of it)? Unless he's just a session guy?

We're all close friends and I've practiced with them in the past.

They aren't emo lyrics...Just weird. Not wrist-slitting music either. Shortest track is about 5:30 and some nice timing/tempo changes...Along with occasional sampling work...

Quick update; weird things happened and we ended doing bits on sat, sun and mon...

All good so far though. Sounds spiffing.

Expecting to finish up the mix in the next week.

AKG C4000B with popshield and two SM-57s mounted further out (one at 1m, about 45 degrees to left, one at 2m, about 45 degrees to the right)

I would have said "hope you had fun", but that's a given :) I'm incredibly envious/jealous [whichever the passive one is].

I hope you checked for phase problems!

why two sm57s?

They're brought back into the mix at a very low level later on. They aren't compressed like the AKG (im sure it's a compressor mic :/) but the distance from the source means they don't really require it that much. Only use them for grrrrrarrrrrshoutyscreamy vocals that benefit from the effect...It ends up like virtually creating a much larger room and making the vocals more 'live'.

Hard to explain but it's something I was shown years ago and it 'works'.

I agree. They're definitely weird. Sure they sound better against music though rather than read monotone in my head. Are you going to let us have a sneaky listen to the stuff then?

I've got a few unmixed mp3s but I'll see if something can be sorted out once we're done.
