April 21, 2016 - 2:41am ... I just can't get to bed at a decent hour! lol. Granted... I was editing drums tonight... but I was done at least a couple hours ago... then internet took over and now it's going to be 3:30am by the time I finish this... we're back in a bit earlier tomorrow so it should be fine... I can still sleep in! My day started out pretty good... did some emails, made breakfast... then Kyle popped out of his room and asked me if I wanted to go for breakfast with him and his lady... ... 2nd breakfast! Ended up at IHOP... sorta hope we can go again tomorrow because pancakes are awesome.. but that might just be getting greedy. Ran some errands on the way to the studio... hit up a Walmart for some household supplies, some crazy electronics supplier called Mouser (...?)... Kyle needed some parts to fix his studio monitor... yeah, we've been doing all our demos using one speaker.... double tracking guitar and mixing with just one speaker... and my ear buds.... and my laptop. Good times. It was a bit of a car ride for a while this afternoon... I wish I could've gotten pictures of so many things. The highlight was a store called "Dino Fireworks".... they had a picture of a dinosaur riding a firework on the side of the building... at least that's what I think I remember... I'm pretty tired so it might not have been.. but it probably was. So studio... tracked rhythm guitars in the afternoon. Alex had Kyle going through a VHT Deliverance and EVH 5150 though some kinda 4X12... not sure who makes it. The 5150 sounded good but that VHT sounded awesome! Alex also has one of those "robot mics" so you can remotely adjust where it's place on the speaker via your phone. It's pretty awesome... I want one. ... I gotta be honest too... gear wise... this place (Empire Sound) is fantastic! ... and I'm not even really a gear guy! It's fun to see all the amps, guitars, basses, pedals, etc ready to be used. Even the drum room/storage lots of toys. Do you need all this stuff to make a great sounding record? Not really... but will you get a better performance if you feel inspired and have so many possible tones at your fingertips? No excuses, but it absolutely helps. Highlights today... pinball. I've only played once since arriving, I could see it becoming addictive though... I shall play more again tomorrow... later today... whatever. Second highlight... DINNER! I think it was called Babe's Chicken or something... I took a pic but it doestn't do it justice... sooooooo much gravy... soooo good. I could've eaten twice as much for taste... but I didn't want to be "that guy". (... it's raining again... another thunderstorm!) I should get to bed... I'll add some more details to the comments in the pics... sometimes that helps me remember... Tracks are sounding great! It's still very early on in the process for most of the tunes, but we're definitely off to a good start. :-) Alright... sleepy time. Mike :-) P.S. Never assume your corn is ok.
