10 songs down, four to go. I may have Adam do alternate takes of a few but we're moving along at a pretty good pace.
I know a lot of people - especially guys my age - prefer analog, but I'll take digital recording any time. I can demo my stuff in Garageband and then my drummer can play along to those tracks when he records. Then my producer can e-mail me the files as they're completed and I can yea or nay them or suggest changes or whatever. It's pretty nice to be able to track drums out of town while I can stay here and get other work done in between files being sent. Better yet, it takes less time and, most importantly, costs far less money to do multiple drum takes. Maybe I want to try a drum intro on a song, or a fill here or there, but I don't know if I'll keep it or not. No problem - the drummer can try it a few different ways and we're not burning through expensive tape.
Anyway, the drums are sounding fantastic. Vapid will start bass on Thursday, which is when I'll get my guitars back from the shop (getting the intonation set). We're taking tomorrow off.
