IT'S A BOY!

Thanks to Pat Phillips (aka Tony Alva) and Ted, we'll be gettin' our new G4 any day now. Although I've loved working with the old blue and white G3, it'll be nice to have that speed back. And we'll be able to record more than one track at once! Good old eBay. Good old Tony and Ted.

Put the G3 through a nice long, hard session yesterday. It yelped a few times, but I sweet talked it and we made it through. The session was with KIDD, more work for his record, which is shaping up. We've given him a few hip hop beats with live drums, guitars, and bass, and they're all hits. Even the simplest, most subtle drum and bass lines seem sublime compared to some of the beats we've been working with (many of which have come premixed on CD, not the best way to record). Once again its the live breathing, the space you get when you put a few mics up, that makes all the difference, at least to my ears.
