Intermediate Audio Production Week 7: Hostile Territory

Today we were in the multitrack studio and actually recorded a band and it was quite the rewarding experience. Whenever I listen to music from my favourite bands (Rush, Scar Symmetry, Hammerfall, to name a few) I always wished I could go back in time and be in the studio when these bands recorded their albums for the first time... oohhhh what an experience that would be. However, what we did today was probably the next best thing. I'm usually a performer but the other side of the glass is also chalked full of fun. I'm am so looking forward to getting into the multitrack environment for myself and doing some recording. I'll probably get a few of my jamming buddies to come in and belt out a few tunes. Again, I've never been able to record in such a professional environment so I'll have to keep my cool if everything is to go smoothly. It should go well though. What I find with this course is that since we enjoy what we're learning any moment of frustration is rewarded with some sort of lesson be it technical or otherwise.
