Tracks in the morning
2007-07-07 06:15 pmSpent a couple of hours recording this morning, trying to get suitable percussion tracks for "TEOTW" and "Daddy's World". I started out trying handclaps on "Daddy's World", but quickly discovered that I didn't like the way they came out. I'd picked up a set of nice rosewood claves at GS a couple of weeks ago, so I tried those. Bingo.
Interesting thing: on a couple of songs, "Daddy's World" included, I very consistently shift the beat going into the chorus. Makes it hard as hell to follow, but a double hit on the claves does the trick. Explains why I was having so much trouble with shaker parts, though.
A little more editing is probably in order, especially on "TEOTW" where I know I dropped a beat once or twice.
