Power Songs

   Posted by: Leighton

Okay – so a while back when I actually went to the gym I did the whole listen to my ipod while exercising thing.

I has my own power song and everything. Not deliberately mind – it just came on when I was rowing and I knew it was the one. I nearly had a heart attack from how hard I had got into it.

And what was this song – Feint by Linkin Park.

Image listening to it while exercising on a rowing machine – just right energy level to collapse a lung…

They keep coming. I like how this one makes a sociological statement as it mashes up a big fat one…

Memories – you gotta love em.

Sometimes you get hit by a memory that sparks something that’s not stirred locked away in the back of your mind from when you were a metal loving, girl free zone of a teenager..

I just got one;

Don’t Move photo shoot

   Posted by: Leighton Tags: , , ,

Did the photography (all 4000 stills) for a music video for Don’t Move on Sunday. Lyle, Ben and Larry have been beavering away on turning it into this…

Cool or what!

We are a little way down the road of recording the first two tracks for the first “We Made This” album.
We have recorded rough midi drum tracks (with me playing live along to Don’s guide guitar track and vocals) to all the songs on cubase and then I have tidied up two – by which I mean gone through and edited every note that was too far out of time or miss hit back into place. Which results in a very solid but still my dynamics drum track.
And we have also recorded the bass to those two tracks – with Mark off on hols soon we needed to get that in the bag.
Then it’s guitar and vocals to do.
Not bad for a home recording effort. All audio through my Joe Meek condenser mic and EQ/compressor. Not the best in the world but works brilliantly for us!
I’ll be updating the blog with the mixing settings – stuff like cut-off frequencies and effects and the like to keep a record!
Cool.
