Vocal Week - Day 3a
Well Corey, you’ve shamed me into blogging. This has been a long morning. We decided to forego exercise so that we might get right to it. We’re working hard on Erica’s vocal for Kiss Us Goodbye. Hard tune to track. Very exposed… nowhere to hide. The band sounds great, [...]
Vocal Week - Day 2c : A Sovereign Nation Sleeps Beside Me
As promised, some more audio. All the same caveats apply as last time. Yes, you’ll hear some FX - reverb and such. I cannot stress enough as to how much more this piece will come into focus when the mix is done. This might be interesting to some of you. Here is [...]
Vocal Week - Day 2b : 210 Gigs
210 Gigabytes of information and climbing. 210. My first Mac (a performa 630) had a 250 megabyte hard drive. This project alone has 1000 times the information of the entire drive. Sheesh. Yeah Chris Steffen, tracking at 88.2 sounds great… but 210 gigs? Erica’s about to go into [...]

Vocal Week - Day 1c : Love Brought You Here Bounce
A complete lead vocal has been completed for Kiss Us Goodbye. Kiss Us Goodbye, if you remember, is the song for which Mike’s Science Project was created. It’s been going well today. It’s hot here in SoCal, and the air conditioning units are right outside our studio walls, so no air when we’re tracking [...]
Vocal Week - Day 1b
It gives me great pleasure to tell you all that the first complete track of As Of Yet Untitled Dailies Record is in the can. Love Brought You Here is a done. Time for a swim break.
Vocal Week - Day 1a
Love Brought You Here. Aaah! It’s so exposed. It’s much easier to do stacks and hide behind a wall of singers! It’s much more difficult to get that one… right… part… More later.
A Race to The Finish
Well, sorry for no updates last week. I (Chad) was out on a week long tour with a High School aged choir that I conduct, a holdover from my former life. It was a great week. We sing in places like Juvenile Detention Centers, Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers, and [...]
