Some more depressing Tryphtopan stuff. We haven't even finished the first batch of demo stuff and Austin has at least a CD's worth of other material recorded that we haven't dug into. Despite that, we recorded something brand new the other night.
I've been getting great advice from everyone on things to do (or not to do) on future recordings. The problem is that most of the things I put up are so far along that making major changes isn't usually an option. I decided to put this one up early in the sketch process... warts and all. Austin wrote it Friday, and we recorded it at 1AM. Austin did the vocs and the guitar to the left. I did the guitar to the right. I did exactly what I usually complain about, too: compressed the acoustics a little too much. Birds were chirping at that point and I didn't spend too much time on the mix. Maybe this would be better in the songwriting forum since I'm looking for arrangement and production feedback more than mixing feedback. I'm not sure.
I have ideas of my own, but I don't want to taint the outside criticism.
