Doom Metal Alchemist Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I made the decision today for my band to stop meeting up until the shelter in place order is lifted. Fucking sucks, but I have to think of the safety of my parents, who I live with. So real soon I'm going to look online for a new audio interface and on my days off (I work in an essential business) going to do home recording during my band's downtime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't really work with our particular band dynamic, but I suppose in theory it could work in others. I say "band practice," but it's actually recording individual parts. When I formed this band my intention was to have it be strictly a studio project, and I already had loads of material written. The "standard" way of recording a band hasn't been to record them all playing together in some decades. The modern way to do it is to do one instrument at a time. This eliminates "bleed through" and gives you greater control over the tone and volume of each instrument, and its placement in the mix. We've made our bass player's house our home studio, that's where almost all the good recording equipment is. Our singer is our audio engineer, our other guitar player knows some stuff about recording, but I sure as hell wouldn't touch any of that equipment without our singer's direction, and I don't think our bass player would want to either, despite it all being at his house, lol. So basically, at the MOST minimal, our bass player needs to let our singer / engineer into his house, and whichever member is recording on any particular day needs to be in the same room. The bright side (in my mind, at least) is all four of us work for essential businesses, so it's not like we'll just be bored out of our minds at home all fucking week wishing we could get together, we got our jobs to occupy us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacky1980 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 i'm leaving the day job here in about 15 minutes and "opening" the bar for carry-out. no one's buying right now though, so i'm using the time in there alone to tear out the back bar and eventually rebuild it before we open back up. exposing the brick wall under the old paneling, re-wiring the entire space, and building it back to a more "traditional" version that existed in there 60 years ago. then if there's still time after all that, re-painting the ceiling to get it all the same version of black, with matching duct and conduit. i'm honestly more afraid of the ceiling job than i am of the entire back bar renovation. all this work would only take a couple weeks if i could bring in a crew. but since i'm doing probably all of it on my own, i'm kinda hoping for 4-6 weeks of downtime...well, not really hoping for it, so much as just expecting it. but y'know what i mean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read like 50 or 60 pages of Aldous Huxley's Island after breakfast. Did a load of dishes. Watched a game play trailer for the new Predator game that's coming out. I mean it looks fun, but it looks like it would be fun for exactly one hour. Then I watched a couple videos about movies and then a snippet from a documentary in which they were showing the development of the 1994 arcade game Primal Rage. Now I'm here. Howdy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
