Whew.
Put it about 70 hours at UNT in the past week, including two overnight stretches. There’s more to come this week, I’m sure, as I slept all day yesterday to recoup and am now a day behind.
Also managed to record a few songs for Ft. Worth-based doom/sludge metal band, Four Days to Burn. They’re the first real metal band I’ve recorded in a long time, very much in the Southern Lord vein, with two singers, one growling, the other screaming. So much guitar, these guys! Very simple setup on this one: guitars and bass together in the iso room. MD421’s on the guitars, an M88 and KSM141 on the bass. D112 on the kick, SM57 on the snare (!!!), double-mic’ed toms, spaced KM84’s pretty high overhead, and TC40k’s on the floor, delayed 22ms. Vocals were the SM7 and a distressor. We tracked 7 songs and mixed two of those for a 7″ on the Dada Drumming label, who are also supposed to release a Great Tyrant 7″. I suppose I’ll be recording that as well.
Received a letter from Touch and Go today with details re: the 25th anniversary thing. They’re so organized, honest, etc — just so damned admirable.
More practice this week, then a session starting on Sunday. After that, sleep, I hope!
