Cedarmore Recording
The Cedarmore portion of the recording is sounding a LOT better than our first attempt. I took some time yesterday to change the heads on the drummer’s bass drum. I also took over a different snare drum and set of hi-hats. I know I’m a drummer and all, and I try not to be too partial, but good drum sounds can make or break a recording. I should’ve mentioned that in my previous post, but I figured it related to the “Good Gear” portion of that post. It’s not necessarily the drummer’s fault that the drums didn’t sound good. They belong to his school, so he wasn’t sure how much he could do to them without permission. But, now, he’s sounding good.
I didn’t get anything too useful last night, but it gave me a chance to hear the new drum sound, which improved the quality or the overall recording greatly. Thursday night will be the “make or break” night to see if we can get any usable songs from their band. I will be recording their evening worship, and they will once again have a late night “concert” to get more material recorded. Our only obstacle at this point is the lead singer’s head cold. Several people prayed over him last night, and he actually sounded pretty good by the time worship started - by the grace of God. He had a little trouble hitting the high notes, but he did a good job of covering it up (backing off the mic, etc.). Hopefully he’ll be feeling better by Thursday.
More to come…
