In this episode, I talk about the song "Sorrow" - the last song that needs to be recorded for the album! Among other things, you'll hear a couple of different versions of the resonator/dobro/acoustic guitar part for the song. Let me know which version you prefer. I also ask for some ideas on what to include in a possible limited edition "bundle" of the album. Suggestions please!

Thanks for listening.

In this episode, I discuss some frustrating "issues" that came up while recording the song “All Is Well That Ends Well.” As always, thanks for listening.

As always, thanks for listening.

In this episode, we are on location for an interview with vocalist Kristy McCabe. We discuss the process in which we wrote and recorded the background vocals for “Down Low” and you'll hear a short sample of what we came up with.

In this episode, I ask for help recording background vocals for “Hotel Desolation.” Yes, this is your chance to really get involved with the new album. Download “Hotel Desolation” here (download expired) to record your vocals. Align this mp3 file at beat one in your sequencer and set the tempo to 125 bpm. You should hear 4 clicks before the song begins. Record at either 16 or 24 bit (44.1kHz).

Here are the lyrics:

Checking in to.... Checking out of this life. Welcome all ye feeble minded. Checking in to.... Checking out of this life. Hotel Desolation.

Drop your mp3 mix of the track with your background vocals in the "DropBox" below. If I like what I hear, I'll ask you for a full bandwidth version via email.

Thanks for listening!

This episode is a little different. It's more of an off the cuff audio diary as I set up to record the chorus guitar part for the song “Gravity.” Compelling? Complete rubbish? Let me know.

In this episode, I talk about the drum tracks for the song “Introduction” and how a distorted room mic can be used as an asset.
