New Guitar Player?

Tonight I had a session with a old friend of mine. We played through the songs meant to be on upcoming album. Or at least half of the songs. And it was brilliant! It is always such a pleasure to join forces with great musicians.

Now we have to decide how to move forward.

God Bless!

Finally ... Reaching the stars!

Finally it is there; the sound I have been looking for. And this is for now for the basslines. The recordings of the basslines I have been doing the last couple of days sounds amazing. This is inspiring!

God bless!

Reconsider and change strings for a new sound

As you know I have been recording now for a while. The last weeks I have mainly worked with recording bass despite hand injury last weekend. Mostly I have recorded slower parts of the songs since it is hard to play fast due to pain in the hand.

When I sat down and started to listen to the work I have been doing I realized I want I new sound. So in order for this to happen I decided to intonate the bass with new strings again. I hope I will suceed in completing this today but there is so much on the agenda.

Let´s operate!

God Bless!

New Method (Let the bass speak louder!)

I am still in progress of developing new ways to do things. And I am still in the process of recording bass, one of the most important parts of the songs. When recording bass this time around I figured I wanted to record two signals at the same time and from a real bass amp. This is due to me not being satisfied with the tone from the artificial amplifiers I use for bass mostly. So from the archives, or really from the live setting I got my old Laney amplifier who I use as monitor on stage and set it up in my studio. One microphone via Shure SM57 and one signal via DI output. And it already sounds so much better!

Keep your fingers crossed and hope this will be so good!

God Bless!

How to do things

And the wheel keep spinning around and around... Shall I record one song at a time? Shall I record all bass first and then add the rest of the instruments? Of course you start off with at drum track but what then?

A couple of months ago I draw out a plan just recording song by song. Now I have changed my mind. I think it is better to think in album format for now. So I will record each part by itself. The coming weeks its all about the bass and finishing the last songs in songwriting.

God Bless!
