I'll try and do one every other day at least.

Today i'm continuing to record and arrange and mix the second track as I go.

First track - pretty much done except for solos and vocals. Instrumental track is fantastic.

Second Track - Still in the tracking stage. A few mix issues and maybe some more rhythm overdubs :)

I think i'll take a break after that  :biggrin: I'm basically doing it all myself apart from solos and vocals.

 :hefdaddy Thanks for watching  !

Started track two on the album on Friday . Continued Saturday. Monday decided it was a bit messy and erased the whole song and started over.

Much better now. :)

That's some cool stuff. I really liked that second one. The one "written in A" and triplets and whatnot.

In the meantime - please feel free to check out the debut album " Demise Of The Monsters " on Spotify now :)

Hell - you could even purchase it from iTunes if you're feeling generous. Every copy sold get a free T shirt and some business cards :) x

Yes it was recorded using Logic Amps and EZDrummer - but we wanted that as an experiment to see If we could record an album using mostly virtual equipment.

The second album is using Superior Drummer and an actual Blackstar 100watt head.. Plus we're going for a much more natural feel :)

Gonna be great. The basic tracks are immense.

Wow, an album on Spotify, that's cool.

Listening to it now and liking it, especially Tickety Boom which is pretty awesome.

Oh and the titles for tracks 8 and 13 are also awesome.

And that 8th track (long title) is pretty groovy.

Thanks man. If you like Tickety Boom, you'll LOVE the song I finished today. It's in Drop A again and has the most epic outro i've ever written ever. I seriously cannot believe it was me who came up with it. Harmony solos and a nice chugging triplet rhythm underneath :)

:D Happy !

Oh, and : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAgYwD95bhk&list=UU9bpV6BkdgAACX24eFIyFJw&index=8&feature=plcp

A video for Bee we threw together. Not the greatest video ever but we were testing out our green screen :)



Demise is a great album to drum to ( I was the drummer in the live band, now we're just a studio project ) and Tickety Boom is my favourite to drum to apart from Claustrophobic due to all the time signatures.

Wow, Bee is even better the second time around. Seriously groovy stuff there.

But what is that goin' on at the end? The drummer hits the high-hat on every quarter note but the music plays the high-hat on every eigth note.
