John's test tracks recorded with new kick drum mikes and his altered mike configurations sound very usable - he recorded some tracks to the stems from Rock Band game and with each track the balance and sound get better. Now it's time to start recording for real - we'll tweak mic placement and angle after the first set of demo drum tracks arrive for "htfk" next week.
Of course that means we're doing htfk first - it's a constant 4/4 time 96 Bpm tempo with a ton of syncopation that makes it sound more complex than it really is. It will be a good way to ease John into a collaborative recording effort where we can bounce stuff off each other on this tune in prep for the really long & complex stuff to come.
I'm thinking we'll have drum tracks shortly and then I will start with some arrangement & instrumentation changes to refresh the new version. I'll post early stems when available...
