We spent our second session by set
ting up the coveted White Board. Every self-respecting band going into a full-record studio project begins by laying out the white board with all the songs one will be focusing on. We broke those down in to two categories: Songs that are arranged and ready for tracking, and songs still in need of polishing. For those keeping track at home, you can follow the progress of the White Board here!
After populating the White Board, we started laying down scratch tracks. Each track is recorded to a click to help keep us honest and steady. Following the click, we added rhythm instruments, vocals and solos as needed. None of these tracks will be keepers, they're place holders that are tight to the click and give
Tyler and Scott a representative track to record their bass and drum tracks too. Tyler and Scott will be tracking live together, which will allow for some great interactions. I will post some audio from the first tracking sessions in the next post, along with those drum tone samples I promised!
