The second band we recorded was a post-rock duo that had just started out midway through the second year and were in the process of looking for a bassist, however they had written some songs and wanted to get an EP organised and released so they could begin to get a following, so this was a good arrangement for both me and the band.
To begin with we recorded the guitars in in unusual turn of events as there songs were based on improvisations and the drummer worked of the guitarists knowledge of the songs to play them. Initially we just recorded the guitar by DI, the other alternative being, recording the band live however without a bass player it would have been a little unusual. The reason the guitar was DI'd was partially for us so that we could re amp the guitar parts but also due to that fact that it gave more creative freedom for the band to add effects to develop the sound that they were after. By the end of this session all the guitars were tracked and the bass had been completed.
