Day 1 in the studio

Day 1, Dec 16, 2008

First day of recording with the legendary Bob Kulick, alongside his partner Brett Chassen. Bob is a Grammy award winning artist and producer and was carefully hand selected by Rock and I to produce and polish what will be or first CD release. We will also be tapping Chris Caffrey (TSO, Savatage) for a role as producer on a few select songs. It all depends on his schedule, but he knows he is on board and we are excited to have him!

Today’s first day was fun. I laid down the tracks for the first two songs we are working on. The first is called ‘Do it for you”, and the second is called “Don’t give up”. It is unclear who will be singing on these yet but hey, at least we got the drums down. I had to play to a click track for the first time ever and I was able to find its groove quickly. By the time the session ended, I found myself missing the “click click click” in my head!

We go back Thursday and Friday for another beating. Forgive the pun. On Thursday, we will be laying down the tracks for “Such a Bitch” and “Stronger Now”. I am sure the “Stronger” title will change. I am not feeling it. I will also be telling Brett I want to rerecord the drumming to the bridge section of “Do it for you” to include the ride cymbal. I hope he’s not mad! All in all, what an amazing and super experience.
