I just got back from recording a CD!

[All I Ask2003]

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 OMG this is like the first time I've been really really happy in awhile! lol

[JazzyManda]

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

[Will]

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!
