* White Hot *
OK -- here's that track I was talking about yesterday -- White Hot. The drummer came back and laid down the same heavy groove, only this time, I kept my eye on the ball, and a good engineer was there to catch it.
For those of you who like to screw up with a perfectly good musical instrument, check this out -- I took all but the top two strings off of my bass guitar, tuned the D string down to a C so that the string would sound flappier, and then capo'ed the bass at the 2nd fret to bring it back up to pitch. Now I could strum fifths with a big fat pick... a little variation on the classic "drop-D" guitar tuning.
(yesterday someone asked about hearing the original mix -- the difference would only be of interest to the tweakiest-of-tweaky recording engineers, and once I smoosh this recording down to a 56kHz mp3 file, you probably wouldn't be able to tell much difference between the old one and the new one...)
