Wow. It's been a long two weeks. As planned, Chris @ Command Studios delivered a cut of the music last Friday, on the 5th. It was awesome hearing our music put together, but there were a few changes we wanted to make. Since then, every three days, we've received a total of 3 studio edits. Third time's a charm. It's a funny thing getting back what we all worked so hard for during the past several months. Playing music together is fun, and we're hanging out with good, lifelong friends in the process, but it's still a lot of hard work. This EP, is our end product, in line of hopefully many more end-products to come! We enjoyed playing these specific three songs the most, and it shows a good balance of what kind of music we play. A good representation.
Here's some inside information on some of the edits we went through. Now mind you that all of us are working full time jobs, and a couple of us are in school too. Everyone was able to get together for each edit and listen together. What can I say? We want our music to be good.
Studio cut #1 (2-5-10) - Drums needed to be boosted for all songs. The snare drum was a bit light and the treble needed to be boosted. It sounded more like a weak thud instead of a "crack!" like it should be. Some guitar effects and vocal arrangements were changed for the songs too.
Studio cut #2 (2-8-10) - Drums came back nicely. We did however notice now that one of the drum's (floor tom) volume needed to be raised. We noticed what we thought was "clipping" but found it to actually be the sonic quality of the EQ which Chris at Command Studios picked up on and had that adjusted also.
Studio cut #3 (2-11-10) - "No One I Know" and "Our Gravity" were good as can be. Chris this time around made a slight change on "Siren" that was a matter of taste which after a lot of consideration we ultimately reversed.
FINAL CUT (2-12-10 11pm) - Finally. Final cut of the EP. Tah-DAH!
We hope you all enjoy the music, and we'd appreciate some honest feedback. We've all worked very hard the past several months, and grew as a band. It's been a great time, and there's more to come for sure! But this is a nice, big step forward for us as a band. We're going to get our music out there, and see where it takes us.
Brent is currently working on making a music video with one of the songs from the EP with all the footage he took from the past few months. Be sure to be on a lookout for that in the next week or so.
THANK YOU ALL and stay tuned!
