This weekend was spent hammering away at a full album for a local band named Wrecking Romance. Friday was entirely spent on tracking drums and bass. Once everything was laid for both parts, the band realized that one of the more complicated songs had been played wrong. That took another hour to get it right. Saturday was send laying vocals and guitar. This was definitely a smoother process but it definitely takes a lot longer to polish something when the entire band is on a different page. The band decided another time that it needed to change how a song was played so we had to re-track a second song again.
When a band isn't polished or ready to record in a studio, it definitely makes things difficult in the whole "getting things done" department. Working at a recording studio has made me realize just how prepared you have to be to use your money and time wisely. If you pay for a certain amount of time in a studio and spend it trying to perfect what you should have already known, that's more money out of your pocket. So, I didn't know that this would be included in the package, but I've definitely been learning the financial/business side of owning a recording studio. It's a tough gig.
