Comparison Between Prado Sport & Prado

Day 0 (zero). Pre-production

Yesterday, 28 October 2008, we began pre-production of our new album.

This is the diary of the day zero. Welcome to the reader.

Paul and Faith arrive at three. Frank and Andrew are already in the studio.

When Nico arrives he sees that Frank and Gianluca speak of this and that. Gianluca has the eye socket, but says he does not have the rockers made the night before. Probably mind.

The study is more welcoming than usual, clean and tidy, like a house guest who waits for the coffee. Through the glass of the direction we see a huge red tent with the number 12 printed on. And 'the symbol of the study. The colors and the environment are the right ones.

After greeting, Nico sits on black leather sofa. Play Paul and Andrew discussing how possessed two before the Mac is dealing with one click. They are trying to set a click other than the standard Pro Tools. They say that sound is unnerving.

Everyone knows how important it is to record a disc with minimal stress. But in the end after half an hour (of stress) to search for a different click, as we feared, we discover that the software only has that click there and you must find another solution. Paul plans to use any MIDI keyboard. Good idea. We'll see. We're going to play then.

Federico enters room with two sticks toothless. It disdains to see that its battery has not yet been mounted and the pre-production will have to use the battery of the study. Threatens to leave. Then he laughs. It does not, of course.

Gianluca Strap on its all-new Thunderbird. It 'came the other day. Lately exaggeration buy low.

Frank sits on the rhodes. Starts with the usual spiel on the volume. Special surveillance and Andrea are the same Frank. As always, the two are blaming each other. Paul sits on the couch in the recording room (always in black leather, but for two people). Has the notebook on your lap and read his notes.

decide to start with "Ananoia. After only twenty minutes Andrea offers a cigarette break. Paul seems to believe his ears, looks aghast. But are you crazy? She says.

Nico shares. They all share. We are working on. No pause for at least an hour. Paul immediately suggests some change in the structure of the piece. He says the piece has too many moments of "atmosphere" and that it is better to put one, maybe longer. And 'he manufacturer. And it shows. The result is now very good and confidence grows.

Ananoia After we go to "The genie will not be." The hotel is ok. We discuss whether or not to enter a "special". At the end we decided that the piece that is good and you just beat up a bit. There gasiamo why the piece works. am already seven o'clock. We have our first break (now three hours have passed since the beginning of the session). Andrea finally smoke.

Then you fall into the room. We begin to play "Give Love Fire". The hotel is ok as it is. We decide for a hammond sound in the intro and acoustic guitar. A Paul like the dark atmosphere of the piece.

For Andrea does not like the shape of the battery. We sit there for an hour to try something different.

A Frederick and Nico the party like it like this. At the end we decided to divide the piece into two parts, the first with the stick, acoustic guitar and Hammond, the second with sticks and electric guitars.

The guitar style mexico still does not convince us. Will be reconsidered.
now well past eight. We decide today that enough. At the exit from the study are the rain and cold. We salute you. all at home, tomorrow we start a little earlier, at two o'clock. By Friday we should have finished with the pre-production. Will be long. But for now the stress is not seen.

We know that eventually the serve. Serve tirelessly to make things right. We are only days away and Christmas is zero. We hope to give us a great record .... Hopefully.
