ALL GUITARS FINISHED!

Hello my dearest of friends and to everyone else who I'm sure I don't mind, just haven't really had a chance to get to know you yet...

So this weekend we finished all of my guitar. Andrew and I have been going pretty hard at these guitar lines lately so it's been kinda grueling but sure is rewarding to have more stuff completed, we High-Fived over it...

So now what next? Hmm well there's some editing... Andrew will be adding more midi and laying down some trumpet... then time to start on vocals...

We're friggin gettin' there!

Bye for now chums,

Big Stereo

(Couldn't find any recording pics to post but I found one of my Brother-in-law's cat Snickers. She's a pretty angry cat...)

Boy Howdy

Hi hi hi,
So I've finished guitars and Ed is almost done too. Today we're going to be finishing off 4 songs that Ed hasn't done yet, plus we're doing all his guitar solos. Mmmm, that should be fun, eh?!!
We're also getting a new computer next week. Recording has been kinda hard with a computer that only has 512Mb of RAM... woo hoo, pretty soon we'll be ballin' with RAM so editing and tracking vocals and all the extras should be easy as pie.
We ended up scrapping "What Now" and starting from scratch. When we layed down the bed tracks for that song we totally screwed-up the tempo so we had to start over. I think the only thing left to do for that song is redo Bass Guitar. YAY!

Last weekend we were away playing a show in Arnprior, Ontario. We stayed at a cottage and had a great time. For the show we printed, burnt & stuffed 100 demos to sell at the show... I think we only sold 30 and a few buttons.
Below is a photo from our "Big Stereo production line", making CDs at the cottage.

Here's another photo from the studio. I'm doing something, Steve is reaching for the camera, PJ & Lisa are snuggling and Ed shot the photo...

So I guess we'll see y'all later,
Andrew

P.S: This album is starting to sound amazing. Thought I'd let you know.
