Studio Diary: April 13/2019

Another day in the studio! Spent the first little bit listening to "WAWP"... was feeling stuck, but grabbed a coffee and wow... Spent the entire day working on track... Recorded some choral parts, couldn't get the right effect on them... spent a lot of time fucking around with them... after all the fucking around, I realized I liked them the way I originally recorded them, with a little fx here and there! Recorded vocals as well! Track is done! Has now been sent off for guitars to be added! Today was very productive!! Definitely motivated!! Next session... not sure when it will be... maybe tomorrow, maybe Monday after work... by the end of April, I will be kicking into "20 Years of Twitch" mode! Lot's of stuff I have to do, but lovin every minute of it!!

Studio Diary: April 11/2019

Spent the evening working on "DC"! Tweaked things here and there... then did vocals. Tweaked vocal parts a bit. Track has now been sent off to have guitars added!! I'm sooo excited!! Once again, being that I'm in the studio almost every day now, things are getting done waaaaay faster! I'm feeling quite confident about these tracks, and I can't wait to show you folks this stuff! This album really is shaping up to be Twitch's best so far! The reason why I'm doing these daily(ish) blogs, or rather studio diary entries is, I want to be productive, and I'm finding doing these entries is helping me stay motivated... and I hope you folks are inspired in your own creative endeavours and share in the process too! If you folks are reading these and want to share your thoughts or even want to share your links to your own blog or creative processes please leave them in the comment section!! I would love to read or hear your thoughts!!

Studio session today was very productive!! Spent time on "DC". Initially when I went into the session and opened "DC" I was expecting to immediately load a different song and work on something else, but I thought, I'll just give it a listen... made a lot of progress!! Added some very subtle noise fx that all the low end is EQed out... gives the song a really cool effect and gives it an atmosphere. Also added a weird "spooky dark pad" to certain parts... already got ideas for next session!! Overall feeling from this session: Made a lot of progress, very excited!! I love these almost everyday sessions... everything is getting done faster, and ideas are coming out a lot quicker! Can't wait till next session!!

Worked on "DC", did some tweaking... not sure where to take it right now... also worked on "WAWP" listened to it a lot. Not a lot of progress, but next session will be different!! Have some ideas for "DC" that want to try out for next session! Despite the lack of progress, still feel positive and confident with the direction I am going!

Another half-day in the studio! Spent session working on "DC". Tweaked things here and there... added some metal percussion sounds... not really sure I like it... needs to be tweaked, or changed into a completely different part. Gonna leave it for now. Overall feeling from session: Even though didn't make a lot of progress today, still tweaking things here and there, I'm still motivated! Tomorrow should be completely different!

Studio Diary: April 5/2019

Not sure what day we are in here of these studio sessions, but spent the majority of session working on "R". Vocals are done, got it all in one take. Sent off to have guitar done! Also, messed around with "DC", tweaked things here and there... not sure where to take track, and not sure about the direction it is headed currently, but we'll see what next session brings!! Overall feeling from today's session: Very excited!! Tracks are coming together nicely, can't wait till it's done!!

Studio Diary: April 3/2019

Spent the first part of the evening rehearsing for a potential show that may happen this Easter! Have a nice setlist. Gear is paired down to a more compact and on the go setup for this potential show! Quite excited!

The rest of the evening was spent in the studio working on "MH"! It is now finalized arrangement-wise and vocals have been tweaked slightly. It has now been sent off to have guitars added! The more I work on this album... the better it gets... sooo excited!! Overall feeling of today's session: Progress! One more track down, many more to go, but with every track that gets completed, the more excited I get about the album! As I mentioned in the last diary entry, this is probably Twitch's best album yet! I feel like I'm making great strides in all aspects of this album... the production, the writing, everything!! It's all seeming to flow quite well!!
