Our band, Torn Down, two guitar players-JD and BC, bass- PV and drums- RS, went into the studio to record a cd. It was 95% live recording with no edits. We did every song in one take. And paid 45$ an hour. It took maybe 6 hours with the little bit of editing and over dub we had to do. On the fly we changed the lyrics to one song and over dubbed the lyrics. The song is much better and worth the extra time.
It was hard working with the studio manager/editor and we won't use him in the future.
We are currently planning to do a CD of all originals. But one person, the lead guitar-B.C., quit. For a while Torn Down had gotten another guitar player- B.E. and we had 3 guitars playing-JD,BE,and BC. The sound was good for outdoors but not so hot for indoors.
Since the band has changed so much without the lead-BC, we are changing our name to We3R, which has two meanings. When we are a three piece it reads "We three are" and when we have the other guitar player it is "We three and Robert." We are possibly working on another project with another guitar player-G who writes originals. He wants to do a recoding too but apparently only has one song.
This is the line up:
Drive
I Need You
Running Away
Quit Your Bitching
Kicking Man
Bird
I don't know what to say
J. Buffet style song
Eagles fly
The 80's style song
Pull the wool over
Dog
I would give it 6 mo before we go to the studio. We only practice once a week. And 4 of the songs are brand new.
Keep Practicing!
