A better update.

Yesterday we accomplished the following:

• Trent added a new keyboard part over the end of “Headhunter.”
• DJ, Ted, Trent and I recorded the group vocals for “Headhunter” and “Charge The Fields.”
• Sara, who is Ted’s wife, came in later in the evening to record a short speaking part over the album’s intoduction.

If you’re wondering what group vocals consist of, it’s when a group of people shout lyrics in unison in order to emphasize the vocal line. For example, Finnish metal band Children of Bodom uses the technique often, and the results can be seen in this video about 2 minutes in:

A few pictures from yesterday’s session:

Vocals = Done.

Yes, the vocals are fully completed. However, it’s 1 AM and I just got back from work so I’ll post more information tomorrow when I’m fully rested and whatnot.

Update on vocals.

Last night we spent a little over 4 hours finishing up vocals for the remaining songs. DJ was stuck at work, but Trent and Ted were able to be there. Shawn suggested they play Grand Theft Auto IV on his PS3 to pass the time, and an addiction was born:

Meanwhile, Shawn and I were in the other room, doing all the real work:

So yeah, all the vocals are done except for some group parts that we’re going to wrap up this afternoon before I have to go to work.
