First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had as much fun as I did on Saturday night.
Now then, lets talk music. Let's see...
Guitars.
Well I've finally figured out a standard tuning for both my electrics, as I used to have a habit of having to retune to some crazy tuning for just about every song in Valyem. Its now Drop D for the Raptor and Drop Eb for the RG. I'm also really liking my new Dean Edge 1-5 5-string bass, sounds really nice. Only downside is that the strings are friggin $70 to replace.
Music in general.
Well obviously "Last Stand" was very diverse in genre, ranging from jazz to electronic. I've finished recording the music itself for the next CD, just gotta add the vocals. It's aiming to be an electronic rock CD, but the next one after that is planned to be an actual rock album, seeing as my fellow bandmate Ben Bartley has his recording studio up and running.
Ben's Recording studio.
OK well first of all, it looks very professional and really awesome. But as far as recording stuff goes, it's just been a nightmare so far. Hope to get everything sorted out soon.
Next CD.
It's gonna have 10 tracks on it, one of which is an instrumental song. I've narrowed down the choice in instrument sounds from "Last Stand", for example, I'm only using one drum kit now. It's also got a central theme to the CD, but that's all I'm gonna say about my new project at the present time.
I also have one copy left of the current batch of "Last Stand" CD's sitting on my bedside table if anyone wants to buy it. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=435768853
Right, I'm off to bed now. Cya =)
