Looking for some advice here.
I think some of you have done this already?
We are about to go into that midpoint between a studio demo/home recording and the major record deal and I'm realizing I know nothing about it because I've done the former a lot and read about the later but who knows about the bit in between?
I think after a bit of work we have found the studio and producer we want to go with. The plan is to do 10 songs and mix them in a week or so. Unlike anything else I've recorded in a studio I'm saying we should do the music live as a 3 piece with no overdubs apart from mistakes and have a single guitar(double tracked). No rhythm guitar even behind the solos Van Halen style.
My thinking is that if you are going to do something a bit cheap then you should go for energy.
Anyone else ever done a budget album in a studio? Any advice?
For example in my head I thought you would do 2 days on the music, day 3 and 4 overdub the vocals and backing vox but I was told tonight that can't work because your singer would need to do too long at one stretch singing for 10 hours at a time so you need to do it in batches in budget mode.
