Mott was back at it last Satuday, largely unsupervised as I was writing song lyrics with Parapraxis.
I listened to what he got done yesterday, and he's managing to get some good sounds out of the ZOOM pedal. I think there's one song where he accidentally hit the tremolo about halfway through while recording, making 'January February' sound like teeth chattering. That may have to be redone tomorrow, when I hope we'll be able to finish up the electric guitar.
On the mixing side of things, I've been bringing the replacement toms into the same instance of Session Drummer as opposed to running several of them, to save processing power. If I need different kits for the kick and the toms I guess I can create one out of the different sounds available, but so far that hasn't been an issue. I was also looking for a recording of rain on a tin roof to stick at the end of 'January February' and found freesound, an interesting library of field recordings and samples from all sorts of places. Not sure how or if I'll use any of them yet, but it is funny to see all the things people take the trouble to record.
You can see Justin, Andrew, and Leona in the background. We wrote a song about some seaweed which longs for the return of high tide. Justin also drew a picture of someone being torn apart by a giant seagull.
