bass tracking today.

7 songs from 9:00am-1:40pm.

smooth sailing at first.

we hit a mild speed bump when logic decided to glitch on a bunch of of
the comps.

we had to go through, and manually edit all of the drum tracks back
together.

tedious and miserable.

by the end of the day, we finished the tracks.

took 3 lines.

1. Bass -> Little Lab's Red Eye DI -> UA La610
2. -> mesa 400+ -> svt 8x10 -> beta 52 - > Eh12ay7 Pre
3. -> mesa 400+ -> 8x10 -> ksm44 -> eh 12ay7 pre.

Sounds pretty great thus far.

lets hope we don't hit the same speed bumps next time around!
