Finally Recording an Album
The band I'm in (Husk) is finally recording an album. It's going to take a while to complete but we got our start this week and here is a rough mix of "Any Old Thing In The World". It doesn't have the piano piece yet and the mix isn't final but I'm really impressed with Jeremy's recording skills. Studio recording is a strange experience and it doesn't feel natural at all. The way we did this song was we recorded the bass and drums first with Stephen softly singing and playing the guitar in the background to give us vocal queues. Then the bass and drums track was used as a foundation to record the rest of the song over. We have to do it this way because there are limitations to our recording equipment and space. We're so used to playing our songs as a band all at once so doing it like this just feels weird and I have to say I was skeptical of what the final result might be but after listening to this early sample, I'm excited. What do you think?
