Holy crap… recording is starting to take it’s toll and it’s only been two or three weeks. I know it’s starting to get to me anyway. Hi all… Rob here.
We had a five hour recording session last night. And that came after all of us worked nine hours at our day jobs. ugh… i think the bags under my eyes have bags under them. No bueno on a work night.
i think we can get one more in.
I showed up at 6:45 last night. John trailed close behind and we started setting up our sound/recording stuff.
Jen and George showed up about 7:30 and we still didn’t have ourselves set up. Come 8:15 or so and we were finally ready to get to work.
Man, it’s hard. Hard doing this by ourselves when we really don’t know what we’re doing. As the night wore on we kept going thinking there was no sense in going home… our spouses are probably already pissed. May as well forge ahead.
So 12:30am rolls around and we finally had to call it quits even though Jen’s mantra was, “we can sleep when we’re dead.” This coming from the woman who has to wake up about 5:15… 5:30 in the morning.

Jen got a really nice mournful recording for “worn out welcome” but there were moments she wasn’t happy with so we’ll have to do them over.
We were able to get some ok stuff but there are little hiccups, glitches, hiss and weird stuff we never really paid much attention to before.
I think we’ll all be doing tracks over. I’m not really happy with my vocals on “ready to love again” and I can hear some stuff on some of the other tracks.
Hopefully if we clean the files up some, they can get scrubbed and polished even more during the mastering.
