Infected Recording Update

Day One Sun, April 6: Finished drums (twelve tracks in five hours - one or two takes for each song. Not bad...). Bass was next, and finished within three hours. A good start.
Day Two Mon, April 7: Andy's rhythm guitar tracks were completed in under four hours. We then worked on and tracked on a new intro song as well as a cover of "Tina" for the "My America" Quincy Punx tribute for the WM3. Jme's rhythm tracks were next and finished in about the same amount of time as Andy's. Jme then started lead tracks.
Day Three Tues, April 8th: Jme finished lead guitar tracks in a couple of hours. We worked on the Intro track for awhile and then it on to lead vocals. Dust and Horizon were completed.
April 9: Well, we finished our first block of studio time at Logic for our next album "Infected".
Day Four Wed, April 16th: Jme finished lead vocals. We began tracking backing vocals.
Day Five Thurs, April 24th: Mixed and mastered "Tina" for the My America WM3 Tribute.
Day Six Mon, May 12th: Finished backing vocals and did some guiter overdubs.
Day Seven Tues, May 13th: Finished guitar overdubs. Started mixing...
Day Eight Mon, July 7th: Finished mixing. Mastered tracks.
Day Nine Fri, July 19th: Tweaked a few songs and mastered again. We're finally DONE! Just need to finish the CD art. Almost there.
