Dean Records Drum Tracks to City Lights

Here's a video of Dean recording his drums to the song City Lights of The Mighty Strange.

Howzit!

Welcome to my site, that I created to track all my escapades with "The Mighty Strange"

We just started recording some songs in da pala (the living room) using my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra and Pro Tools MP9 which came with the hardware.

Here's some pix of our progress..

The secret to laying down reliable tracks is to first lock in the tempo with a drum track and a click track.

That way each musician can lock into the rhythm of the song.

After Smashley, Doug and Beau laid down their tracks.

It was time for me to do mine..

The cool thing about recording nowadays is that the drummer can record after everybody else, instead of the other way around.

And while each person takes a turn at recording, the others can pretty much chill and wait their turn.
