Hi there, viewers at home
we've been rehearsing all afternoon at the OB to get everything in shape
and we've just arrived here in Panningen, where we've dumped all of our gear
so let me show where we're gonna be today, tomorrow and the next weeks
the new and improved booth, where Nico will be spending most of his time. Erik did a nice job on it
new speakers!
loads of buttons i don't understand..
new bunks we'll be spending too many time in..
the heating
- look at me! i'm working - very good. so where are we?
Panningen! a.k.a Pancakeland
- doing what?
- recording an album
216!
- we're recording another acoustic album, trying to get the sound as small as possible
- the last acoustic album was way too loud
- thanks for informing me on forehand!
it's 8 bars at 216, then 1 more bar at 196
- complicated material. mathpunk!
some finetuning on the snares and other vintage stuff: shoelaces - hey, those aren't vintage!
- that's where the drumhead is supposed to go, to make sure it sounds HEAVY
.. and stays in one piece.. hopefully...
and this here is what i call the hi-hat muffler, designed and patented by Erik
look at that perfect case of mcGyverness!
[song: buyers remorse]
- are you a little confident about this? - just a little...
- what day is it? - wednesday, day 1
- yeah, we arrived here yesterday
- how many so far? - ehhh.... 8 songs
- only drums that is - yeah, and one broken snaredrum
- and minus 1 intro we still have to do
- Tom, what time is it? - quarter past beer!
- 00:27
- we're all pretty much ready to go to sleep
AAARGH!
except for work-o-saurus right here
- what are you up to?
- apathetically editing drums!
- is it you or the drums who is apathetic?
- more or less both..
- well.. it sounds good
- the tone is right
[song: some of my best friends are meat-eaters]
- mwah... could have done better
- but not bad at all
soooo... look at this the drumkit
we're done recording drums, so we can take this boy back home
unfortunately, i broke a crash cymbal in the process. .. which wasn't even mine..
i just talked to the rightfull owner of the crash on the phone. we're still on speaking terms
time to do some bass tracking
hey, nice rack! - you better watch out with that camera
you might just break the mic on the camera, or the lens
goodmorning, dear viewers
- i see you are well seated
- yeah, this is my crusty position
- it's good for blasting!
bring it on!
- so, did you read the list of stuff to do better?
- oh, you mean all those advices i'm about to ignore?
you editing moron!
- i'd rather be an editing moron than a failure at playing bass!
[song: our hearts]
my index finger is completely trashed!
i'll be playing bass tonight with only these two fingers
i apologize to anyone who comes to the show tonight..
yep, we've recorded all of these
- wait until you see this
- uhoh.. this is where the real work is done
- nah, it's all there
- tom, you can quit playing bass now. you're done
- time to make some mixdowns
