studio update day 1 and 2
Day 1
So we arrived a little late on thursday. Along the way we stopped to pick up Nate Van Dam at Big Sky Audio in philly where Hit The Lights is writing and demo'g their new album. It's an amazing studio and all the HTL boyz were amazing. So after that we headed up to jersey to start recording with babyface freeman. We ended up grabbing a hotel and crashing the night where Christian decided to throw some moves on Nate during the night. After being thuroughly apalled, we eventually fell asleep.
Day 2
We all woke up around 6:30am and scratched ourselves before eating some thumbnail sized bagels and doughnut holes. After enjoying our continental breakfast we headed to Pilot Studio in Boonton, NJ to start tracking drums with Babyface Freeman. Nate killed it and tracked all six songs in amazing time. We are all sooooo thankfull that he could play on this record and hope to work with him some more in the future. After tracking drums came a whol bunch of drum editing. Extremely important, but boring. Lol. Ben, Thom and I headed to our buddy Steve's (Crash Romeo) house in Branchburg, NJ while Christian took Nate back to philly. Unfortunately they were stuck in traffic most of the day while Ben, Thom and I partied it up. We eventually made our way to see our boyz in Vampire For Hire play at Sparks in Bridgewater, NY. They were off the friggen hizzy!!!!! After officially being rocked, we proceeded to party like rapstarz.....lol. Sleeping was pretty much out of the question, and so was spooning with Ben. Damn.
Day 3
We woke up around 8 and headed to the studio after Ben "excersized his demons". The ride was rough and so was getting started thanks to 2 bottles of GREAT tequilla the night before. Ahaha. Babayface Freeman knocked our socks off by pushing us to track almost two complete songs!!! Were soo happy to be working with him. He has great ideas and is really pushing us to track some great stuff. We went out to eat for dinner at the Boonton Grill where our waitress proceeded to completely turn us off from wanting to eat our food. Lol. After finishing up some tracking we headed back to Steve's to pick up a few things before heading to our sweet hotel to shower, shave and spoon.
See you guys tomorrow!!!
