Do you have links to your studio work?
We've been a band for about 12 months now - I learned 30 songs in 4 weeks!
We spent two days in the studio.
First we all recorded together... a guide track for the drums.
Drums -> bass -> rhythm guitars -> lead guitar -> vocals.
Please don't beat me to death but I was playing a Suhr going into a Blackstar with one mic in front, that's it. I did two takes for each song.
ACDC I did the solo a couple times and we chose the best.
Janis I did two improvised solos - the other one wasn't suited to the song.
Definitely a joyful thing. I doubt I'll get the same results with my own album. I'm recording guitars into a Line 6 Toneport. I use Traktion as the DAW. I use jamstix to program drums. I also do the bass. I also do the website and the videos. I use Lightworks for video editing. I'm actually a little gaunt as I'm doing so much work on this it's unbelievable.
