This table tracks the time I spent recording tracks. To that, I also add:
· Preparing and editing drums: XXX · Vocals training sessions: 7:00 (6 sessions) · Sorting tracks: 0:26 · Guitars: 0:26 · Bass: 0:26 · Vocals: 0:26 · Mixing: 19:00 (6 sessions)
Which in the end amounts to XXX hours spent making the EP, without counting other things such as making sure guitars were in tune, practicing bass parts, exporting tracks, setting up projects (which could add about 2:30 hours).
This is not supposed to sound like "omg I spent so much time so look it means it's good", rather it's a study for myself that I can use as a reference point in the future. For example, knowing that it took less than a day to record all bass tracks is a good insight, because then I can just take one day.
· XXX hours recording tracks (guitars, bass, vocals) · XXX hours sorting tracks
As with previous songs, drums were 95% done at the point of recording and I only had to check
Recording is kinda tough especially with the heat
tech Harley Benton BZ6000. I tuned the lowest 4 strings to C standard for Fata Morgana and Deadlock, to D standard for Wannabe and NWBLY, and to Drop A# for Could It Be.
lose power in nbwly i played a little more aggressively and tone was better too vocals This time, I decided to train more before getting into recording actual takes.
thoughts for next time
