The drum tracks are in!

We got the drum tracks back from Kid Carson in Toronto and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. His playing adds amazing energy to the tunes. Long-distance recording has its challenges though.

We recorded the 'bed tracks', that is basic guitar, bass and vocal, to a click track (an electronic metronome) which was supposed to make his job easy. Unfortunately I'm not used to playing to a click track so I played slightly ahead or behind the beat in places. Luckily with the recording program Sonar, John was able to synchronize these spots so that everything lines up on the beat. It's not an exact science though, and sometimes there's patch-work to do, but all in all we're happy.

Thanks to Kid for his great work!
