Back in the studio

We've been experimenting in the studio.  The first part is finding the right combination of setting that allow my real voice to come through in the recording the way it does in real life.  That's not my department, though... I just sing...

Fearless Leader has had me sing with several different microphones and fussed with the vocal booth.  Something continued to elude the sound we were seeking.

When I listen to the playback, I am always astounded.  I can't help but think, "That's really me!"
After all the dinking around with the vocal booth, we finally just moved the mic out into the open area of the main room, and suddenly, we had the rest of the sound we were looking for!

We've been laying down some new music, and finished a little bit of writing.  I'm pretty stoked to get back into regular recording/jam time!  I think we're back on track!
