Rosetta Recording: Session 2

Another weekend in the studio in NY. The glitz and glamour….out the window, and we're here to work!

Mixing board!


Guitar tracks are grueling, and Matt as usual is stressed out, but what's a Rosetta record without Matt getting stressed out?


Here's a lovely shot of Matt's pedalboard.


And then the heads used for Matt's guitar tracks (there's one missing, we ultimately used 5 heads).



All guitar tracks are done. I got rough mixes of the record, Armine is working on vocal and sample arrangement, and we have a few songs we need to finish the bass on. Here's some clips from this past weekend.

Rosetta in the studio: Session 1

So, Rosetta is in the studio again (this time not ours) and we just wrapped up our first weekend of recordings. We'll be recording every weekend for the duration of November (with mixing the record extending a bit into early December).

Andrew welcomed us warmly, and so did his dog Brady (I didn't get any pictures, but I got a lot of video). Starting at around noon, it took around 6 or 7 hours to get mics setup and sounding write, tuning drums, adjusting things, and what-not. We then took the rest of the day to start on drum tracks, and wrapped up around 11:30pm saturday.


We stayed at our friend Luke's house, had an awesome breakfast, then headed back out to the studio at around 12pm. We sat a bit while Andrew messed with drum tracks a bit, and then we got a'rollin'.


Blasted through drums, got a good bit tired from it, but it was a lot of fun and the drums sound INCREDIBLE! So...a little more editing of the drums, and we're ready for bass around 8pm.


Dave rocked out a few songs and as we were all starting to pass out, we ended, packed up, and were on our merry way. We'll be heading back up next weekend to continue bass tracks, as well as start on guitar and vocal tracks, so stay tuned to here, my twitter, and Rosetta's twitter.


P.S.: We're filming the sessions, so look for a Rosetta DVD sometime after the record comes out next year. I can't say if it will be a Translation Loss release along with the record, but I can definitely say I'll have copies for people at shows. I'll also try capturing some clips and posting them to my youtube when I can.

stay classy...
