The 'Album 2' Thread

[matt schrauben]

After our show at Uli's on Nov. 10th, Silent Lapse plans to hit the studio and start recording what will become the second Silent Lapse album.

As of now, our studio is in the final stages of being prepared for the recording. We are excited to start getting down tones for the first time in our new studio.

Stay tuned for more!

Can't wait to hear new material!

As a recording nerd and junkie I hope you share some insight into your recording process..

 

[matt schrauben]

Thanks man! We are excited to start getting this down.

We for sure will indulge in our actual recording process. Mitchell and Taylor both are pretty huge recording junkies. Plus we’ll be posting studio Diaries as well.

I’m hoping we post our first diary in the next few weeks!

 

[hagenmusic]

The first studio diary is coming soon! We filmed it tonight to mark the beginning of the recording process. Had trouble uploading it to youtube... we'll get to that tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer Hagenmusic. We’ll keep that in mind as we continue the process.

What’s new in Ionia? Haven’t been there in a while myself.

Haha. I hear ya. I worked in the Ionia Meijer for 4 years... I have seen everything.

The first drums for the new album are being recorded tonight! I can't believe we're getting back into this again. Although it's been about 4 years since the last one, it still seems like yesterday. Goodbye, sleep. It was nice knowing you.

It went well last night. We took a few drum takes of the song ‘No Home’ last night. The tones were amazing, and the kit just sounds so live. It’s wonderful.

We’ll be taking more takes on Friday and Saturday morning. The plan is to get the drums for ‘No Home’ and ‘A Good Fight’ down and recorded.

Speaking of 'No Home':

Yeah, but man that Burger King... I love time travel. Why yes, I would love Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry from a fountain! :hotjump:

[Scott Martin]

Glad to see you over here, M@RS!

No home drums are FINISHED and they sound monstrous! Worked on 'A Good Fight' this weekend too. Should be able to to have 3 songs worth of drums down in no time!

Stay tuned for more updates...

Are you guys gonna have Jens mix the new album again?

Are you guys gonna have Jens mix the new album again?

Now that we have the necessary tools and abilities to mix ourselves, we plan on doing so. The only work we plan to outsource to a third party is the mastering process. Jens is a contender; however, we are looking at our options.
