DOZER - "Beyond Colossal" - Day 03

Last day of recordings at Studios 301 (sniffle, sniffle).
Started off listening through all the material to see if anything
needed to be re-recorded but fortunately it was all good, baby.
Proceeded to overdub the toms on some songs just to emphasize
and make it sound even more powerful (or well, that's the idea anyway).

To give you an idea of how it's sounding so far I can only say
that it's quite Albini-esque. Then you decide if that's good or bad.
I think it's good. Really good. Excellent, actually. Really excellent.
We ended up with around 20 mics or so on the drums, six of them being just for ambience.

So now it's time to go from the posh Studios 301 to one that is...
not quite as posh.
Guitars/bass/vocals will be done at the good old Rockhouse Studio
in our hometown Borlänge. For those of you keeping score you'll recognise that it's the same studio as the first two Dozer albums was recorded in.
What will be different is that I am bringing a bit more posh gear
(API preamp & a quite nice selection of mics) to keep the rest of the recording of the same high level of quality as Studios 301 provided.
I'm basically gonna bypass the entire studios electronics, so it should turn out good.

Last but not least, big thanks to the staff at Studios 301, especially studio manager Ian Agate!

There won't be any updates tomorrow as we don't start recording until friday, so check back then.


So for now, stay in school.
