Deep into the recording

Oay, so recording is going really well at the moment. I've got most of the tracks down for Stormbreaker, Batter Up, She, Does he listen, Sunny Side Up, Fallen Leaves and Starbucks (one you may not have heard). I need to record drums for a few tracks which is proving to be a bit of a problem as I've only got 2 microphones. Might need to book some studio time somewhere for that.. or obtain an 8 channel mixer and a set of drum mics!

The tracklisting is currently looking like this, although I think I may add one or two more depending on time (i want to have it finished by March)

Stormbreaker
She
Sunny Side Up
Fallen Leaves
Jimmy Choos
The Soldier
Batter Up
Louise
Does he Listen?
Starbucks

Jimmy choos is a bit of a pain in the arse to record, I can't get it to sound right. Don't know if it should be a full band performance or an acoustic song. neither sounds right at the moment. Louise is probably going to be the next track i get to work on. Need to put some nice organ on there, and build up the instrumentation at the end of the track. The soldier is shaping up to have lots of samples of strings on there, with snare rolls and just the acousitc and vocals. Some of the songs need a bit of editing to tighten them up too. Lots to do!!

In other news I've recorded a live demo of stormbreaker. Head on over to www.myspace.com/jealousofgirls to have a listen. I'm hoping to get some gigs on the back of recording this demo, as I haven't played in ages.

That's all for now!
