Album Blog 11: We're Done! (Sort Of)

Hello ladies and gents,
please give us a round of applause because we are officially finished recording our full-length album!! Now, we did say 'sort of' in the title and I'll tell you why. It is true that we are done recording but, unfortunately, the album is still a long ways off from getting into your hot little hands. First it has to be mixed (which is happening right now as we speak), then it has to be mastered, and then it has to be physically produced!

The good news for you guys is, we're considering a few options for releasing the album on the internet before the physical CD arrives which will let you guys own it about a month before those who wait for the physical CD...isn't that awesome!!!

Stay tuned as we continue to post videos of us recording in the coming weeks!

xoxo

PS: See you at JavaSkalidays tomorrow!!

i saw HIM this weekend. ugg. just seeing, talking, listening to him! it hurts so good.

Album Blog 9: Day Ten - Guitar Solos and Vocals

Hey guys,

We had a really long day at the studio yesterday. It was our last scheduled day so we had to do as much as possible. Luckily, we were able to multi-task for most of the day. Tyler tracked all of his guitar solos and lead parts in the main studio while Meagan and Max worked from a laptop in another room on vocal tracks.

Eventually, when Tyler was finished, Max and David started recording vocal harmonies. We still have some more to do next week including keys and more harmonies but everything is sounding awesome.

As always, there's a slideshow below.

consider this "emo" of me


being half interested in someone doesnt seem like enough reason for me to actually pursue that person. and then starting a forbidden crush doesnt seem very rational either.

my problem? well Number 1: i'm in love with someone that doesnt love me back. at least not like id like him to. and Number 2: i havent been meeting any body.

maybe the biggest problem is that even though im trying really hard to be cute and available, no guys are interested in me...

*sigh*

recording is fun. and as you all can see, i sleep in the studio a lot.
my birthday is on wednesday.
how do i win him back?
any ideas?

Album Blog 8: Days Eight and Nine - Horns and Vocals

Hello hello,


yesterday Max left the camera at the studio so there were no pictures to upload or put into a handy slideshow but they're here today!


The last two days were mostly devoted to horns and vocals. Yesterday, Tyler started off the day with a little bit of guitar stuff but after that it was all horns and vocals. Between yesterday and today we got all of the horns done (even solos) and big chunk of vocals. We only have to do lead vocals for one more song and then all our harmonies. Oh yeah and we still have to do keys and some guitar solos as well. Tomorrow is our last scheduled day but we'll be going in a few more times to finish everything up.


Everything's sounding great and there should be a new video up tomorrow or Monday that shows you guys all the work we did recording guitars (and then later there'll be videos for horns, vocals, and keys...sound good? Great).
