Bass? DONE.
I just completed the bass tracks for all ten songs in the new project. The big surprise for me was that I did them all in one single day. Normally this should have taken 3 or 4 days I think.
Perhaps it's due to this album being in "pre-production" for a year. Just not having enough time to record it, I've spent the last year tweaking the songs. With rough demos done on a computer, I can mute the recordedguitar and vocal trackss, set up a mic, plug in my guitar, and play along with the drums, keys, and bass. Or I can just mute the bass and play it live.
I've been doing that constantly, changing the lines I'm playing to see what's working best.
So I got it all done in one day. I ripped through each song one right after the other. I don't think any song took more than 2 or 3 takes (with maybe 1 or 2 punch-ins). My fingers are numb and callussed, but those are war wounds I'm proud of.
I'm pretty anxious to get started on the guitar tracks. These shouldn't take long. The vocal tracks, that's what will take long...
