The last recording session on Tuesday the 26th of February was spent mixing. I tell you, this can be a very tedious job. Sometimes you feel like giving up on a song after spending too much time with the levels. You just need to walk away from the song for a bit or maybe burn it on a CD and listen to it in your car (works great, takes away the distraction of the streaming tracks on the computer in front of you).

Today Chris and Dave worked on a new old song Dave wrote in 2004. The song is titled “Dial 9.” “Dial 9″ is acoustic picking style song that is based in a Folk Rhythm and garnished with petal steel melodies. Chris arrived at “the studio” at 12:00 noon, ready to take on the world. Chris was able to adapt well to the complexity of the changes in “Dial 9″ from the original song they played together. After a baloney sandwich and having brownies and ice cream for dessert the song was moving along rater nicely. The petal steel track was finished and Chris laid down a lovely bass track. By this time it was 3:30, ah the pleasures of recording. Overall, I would say it was a productive afternoon. All I can ask for is that Chris and Dirk listened to the CD of recordings I made for them and have feedback ready for Tuesday’s recording session.
