SWITCHBLADE - "S/T 2009" Studio report, day 6

Semi-slow on the updates, I know.
Anyway, day 6 - the last day of tracking - was spent doing vocals and Anders nailed the whole album in just one day. That's a pretty strong effort if you ask me. A solid performance as well. We also did a few extra guitar overdubs, eerie harmony type stuff.
One thing I haven't mentioned which isn't all that common, is that since the album was not recorded to a click track, in order to do guitar dubs with ease (which can be really hard when the music is at such a slow tempo), the basic tracking at Gröndahl was filmed and then later synced to the audio in Pro Tools so Johan could simply watch the performance at Gröndahl and play along to that, providing both a better vibe as well as being time efficient as hell.
Those hi-tech kids and their gadgets...

The plan was to rest for a few days before starting the mix process, but that plan lasted about 2 hours from when I got home.

To be continued.


As previously stated, weird surroundings outside Version Studio.
