Title: I just got back from recording a CD!
Post by: All I Ask2003 on April 26, 2004, 04:11:21 pm
Yay! I was planning on going in the studio (which is really nice, by the way) for awhile now, but now I've actually made my first CD! There are only two songs on it and they are Paint It Black and My Immortal. I'm going back there over summer break to record 14 more songs :D OMG this is like the first time I've been really really happy in awhile! lol

You've got recording studio time and all you can think to do are covers?

Not like studio time is that expensive these days.....

Why not do covers? I think it's more just for fun than anything else.

You can't get studio time for less than 20-50 an hour even at odd times and in a crappy studio.  And that's assuming you bring your own engineer!

And if it's just for fun, why pay that much?  If you are just having fun you could rig your own ghetto stuido for the same price you would pay for a day of stuido time.

It makes no sense to me!

GREAT list! Missing's gotta be one of my most favorite ev songs. And I've always wanted to cover Unsung... such a fun song to do!

that's pretty cool.

i've taken a couple classes at some studios down town of how to work MIDI and mixing and things. it's hard to find the right sound you want to record with etc. my school has a brand new music tech lab and studio this year so i'll be taking those classes too. i think it'd be a fun profession.

hope the recording goes well! sounds like fun  :D

Jock means you want to be LIKE me.

And I don't accuse you of speaking ballocks.  I accuse you of speaking BRITISH.  Which is funnier :)
