Our First Experiment... Tyborn Jig

Last night was our first real experimentation recording a full band. Tyborn Jig, local Des Moines rock quartet, was kind enough to donate some time and willing to record an older song so that we could test room acoustics, mic placement and what little knowledge we have of all the things at hand.

So while David was eating dinner with his grand parents in Central Illinois and Christian was being a responsible adult looking at houses, I was guessing mic placement, and being slaughtered by Elliot's guitar amp in the booth room trying to adjust mics. Luckily the guys were really familiar with the song, and the entire recording process didn't take more than 2 hours once everything was set up. The entire process lasted just longer than Mystery Science Theatre 3000: Eegah.

Later tonight I am going to work on the mix, and hopefully we'll have a sound clip to upload tomorrow.
