Shot off to Southend after work today to go and meet the rest of Hollywood Doll (well apart from Marie) to start working on more recorded stuff. Met up with Chris and got all the gear set up.
We decided to start again as there were issues with the original recording that we did for Chris' observation. It was all a little bit fraught and we had a sad sense of deja vu as it looked like it was all going to be a disaster. After much help from a fellow technician Chris did manage to get one track recorded. We went to copy it onto a USB stick only for the Mac to freeze up. It was at that moment in time that we realised that Chris had NOT been backing up and saving as he went. Net result, lost track and having to start again! I think Steve was ready to throttle Chris at that point!
Important lesson learned there, ALWAYS save, and often! Thankfully the second take went without hitch and sounded pretty good. Matt then arrived and did his lead parts and it all sounded jolly spiffing. We are back again tomorrow with Marie to get the vocals finished on that one and then hopefully knock out another quick track so we at least have two to walk away with.
Despite the hiccups it has been fun to get in the studio and record! Hopefully all will go smoothly tomorrow and we can do a decent mix and make it available for you all to hear!
Got home and enjoyed a lovely Sam made pizza which was a great way to finish off proceedings.
