Brief update....
I took a week off to go into a recording studio and help track vocals and drums for the Deepsleep Narcotics Company. The studio, The Hideout, was fantastic and an awesome experience all around. The long weekend was fun and we recorded a ton of material.
Back to Fog People business though, "My Turn" has been put to bed (for now) and I'm finishing up fine tuning on "Permission Withdrawn". A freak computer glitch cost me about four hours of work, a lesson in proper saving and backing of material was reinforced there.
Definitely in the home stretch for the writing section, doing all the fine-tuning and layering. Just a few songs left and then I get to "flip the room" and move my studio out into the salon for mixing and open up the main studio room for spot-overdubs and assorted additional recording (bass and guitar come to mind)
In the days of Motown, their performers attended charm school, dance lessons, and assorted other grooming in order to hone their superstar performances. Well we don't have access to that, but we DO have access to Hands of Kali and their arsenal of performance chops. So, the girls have been somewhat abducted by the badass sex witches in that troupe and are being taught who-knows-what. Being a guy I'm not privvy to the details.
But, I just got my hands on the piece of gear featured in the pic. We're in desperate need of some processing for vocals, mostly run-of-the-mill compression for live use, but also some additional yummy effects. It will take some time to work out but we're going to start with integrating this little dude into our rig. Ultimately we're hoping to add a live mixer to the team (that's a person, not a piece of gear...we already have one of those), someone who would have fun "playing" the live effects and assorted other triggering doo-dads. But for now we need to solve the problem of the fact I sing very quietly and the girls have some devastatingly loud vocal weapons in their throats.
Everything else continues apace. More news soon.
