09-Sep-09 jiva in the Recording Studio - Day Four

We turned up at the allotted time and this time we were recording a song with us both playing 12-string guitars. Jimmy on 'Missy' (Taylor 855) and Val on 'Chalise' (her new custom build). Then we added some more vocals to a previously recorded song and some guitar work to another track.

That was it! We have now recorded 12 songs which work out at not far under 60 minutes. That should be enough for our debut album. (There are more songs that we would like to record, so we're already planning the next CD... but we certainly won't be rushing back to start recording for quite some time yet.)

Next step is for Ron to do some mixing and then we will join him in the studio again for some final 'tweaking'. After that Ron will do the mastering and meanwhile we'll be finalising our artwork design for the CD label and jewel case inserts... then it'll be off for putting it all together. We're well on track (intentional pun) for our self imposed deadline of the end of November... seems the CD might be available before then!

We'll keep you informed.
