Epic EP

Yesterday was tiring, but it was totally worth it. :D

So my band Nightmare's Riot recorded 4 new songs at TrackStar Studios yesterday! We got there at 11am to set up. When we got there, we were surprised to see that it was a house. 0.o But the studio inside was awesome! We met the producer once again named Sven, (pronounced "swen") who was one of the judges at the Poway show. He showed us all the different rooms: the recording room, the mixing room, the room for the guitar amp, etc. He also showed us all the awards that he's won over the past years that he's been recording and producing for local bands. O.O

At about 12pm we started recording. The recording equipment he has is great! Very professional. I really want his mics. :P We recorded 4 songs and he gave us really good suggestions and ideas. He made us better than we really are. :P We took multiple takes for each song and it was very tiring but worth it in the end. We recorded multiple guitar tracks so that the songs would feel heavier and have multiple dimensions so that the songs would sound more powerful. He also fix missed beats while mixing and he even did stuff to my voice to make me sound a little bit more decent. :P

At about 6pm, he started do final mixings and remastering for each song. He then burned them on CDs for each of us and we listened to the final works. We are very pleased with what we (mostly he) did. The songs sound great and I thank Sven for that. :D After that, we went to eat at In & Out. We were starving!

So now we are going to burn more discs and create album art for this new EP that we are going to release for FREE soon! Hopefully people will enjoy the 4 new original songs that are on our new EP. The songs will also be on MySpace and available free for download on PureVolume. Oh yah, and we do have a name for the EP, but we're not going to release it yet. But it will be released very soon.

Photos of us recording are on our MySpace. Video of us recording will be on YouTube soon.
