Hey all
DA hard at work recording keyboard parts
It’s been a while since I last posted, so to stop Stee hogging the blog I’m gonna update you all on what the bands been up to. I’ll try and keep it short and sweet 
Well I guess I better start by saying we have Acquired a new band member in the form of Rob Northcott, he’s our new keys man and has really bought some fresh exciting ideas to the songs.
Shane and Rob try and get some interesting sounds using Stee's Roland jp-8000
So the album……
It seems like we’ve been working on our debut forever but in truth it’s probably the best part of a year and a half as the recording sessions have been scattered throughout the months. We have everything recorded down and are happy with all of the recorded takes of each instrument. We’re at the mixing stage now which entails Shane working his ass off to do justice to the recordings and retain the energy and raw sound of our live shows on the record. This week Shane has been tidying up each songs session by cutting out unwanted audio, colour coding recorded instruments, setting volume levels on the mixing desk and labeling channels so everything in the session is easier to work with.
As those of you who follow our twitter will have noticed Shane has been mixing one track each day, this takes him an average of 8 hours a day and even then the mixes won’t be finished as he will revisit them just before we get to the mastering stage.
We are getting our album mastered by a top mastering engineer who has worked with the Who and Led Zeppelin! So we’re all really excited about hearing the final results. There will be more detail on the mixing and mastering of our debut album in the next blog.
Cheers for reading
Marc
