Studio Report, Guitar - Day 4 (Frederik)

The first two days of guitar were all Pieters'.
All I had to do was read a book, have a drink, eat and give a comment here and there (great times).

The third day was mine and since we were running a bit behind on schedule (not our fault ) I knew that I had to work fast
but accurate.

A second "problem" occured that some parts of the songs had been altered, so I actually had to learn these new things in the studio. But since I like a good challenge it was done with pleasure.

First we tried my own set-up (a carvin poweramp, hughes & kettner preamp, a boss japanese eq and an intellifex FXrack,
all going through my laney cabinet with vintage TT-30 speakers).
Despite this giving an amazing, defined sound, it just wasn't the sound we were looking for; we wanted something more "dirty"
so we went back to the warp and the Marshall and just put a boss eq in between. And to make it even more dirty we put my boss gt-3 in the mix too.

Guitar-wise I played most the distorted parts on P's guitar, all dropped d-parts on my Gibson SG, and all the cleans on my Ibanez Jem 7V.

It was an exhausting day, but I'm happy to say that I managed to play the whole thing in one day, putting us a bit closer back on schedule.

Studio Report, Guitar - Day 2&3 (Pieter)

Hi there again!

By now I have spent 2 days in the studio recording guitar.
The good news is my rhythm guitar parts are done

Some songs were easier then expected, some more difficult, ...
but in the end we're still on schedule, that's all that matters

The only thing left for me to do is play some clean parts and of course the leads.

But for now I can take a break, time for Frédéric to make some noise

Cheers,
Pieter
