SWITCHBLADE - "S/T 2009" Studio report, day 4-5

Recordings have resumed - this time at Version Studio to do guitar overdubs/vocals/bells n' whistles/etc.

Arrived at the studio yesterday early afternoon and after a few hours of setting up, we were rolling. First up was guitars which we tracked with an assortment of highly classified microphones going into my beautiful API A2D preamp. Johan utilizes 2 heads (Orange/Sunn) and 2 cabs (Matamp/Sunn) so it's quite a rich, thick tone. I don't wanna toot my own horn too early on, but at this point the guitar sound isn't heavy, it's beyond heavy. It's a very brown sound.

Anyway, today we finished all "heavy guitar" overdubs and just before calling it a day we started trying out vocals.
I'm afraid that's about as exciting as it gets right now.


Interesting surroundings outside Version Studio.
