Powerspace Studio Update

Powerspace have posted a studio update and can be read below.

we've started to do some live tracking, which is exciting. we've recorded all of the songs live probably dozens of times each - perfecting parts, tones, arrangements, etc. we won't be using any of these takes but now that we've got some kickin drum, bass, and guitar tones we are closer to doing final takes.


this way of recording is so different from how we've recorded in the past. it's an exciting and eye-opening experience. our mega-producer johnny k is forcing us to take our time and do everything right. and that means everything. this is a good thing. it's really easy to want to just jump right into tracking these songs. we've had some of them written for over a year and we're all pretty anxious. but we're going to do this one right, and that's going to take a while. (by day 20 of the last record we were about 2/3rd's done tracking. we haven't really even started yet!) we've been working every day, all day and all night, and it will be worth it.


we've been listening to a lot of great rock recordings to get pumped up. boston, the who, def leppard, van halen, etc. these records were done the hard way, no computers to fix every little thing, with guitars and bass bleeding all over the drum mics and such. yet, sonically they are far and away better than many rock albums coming out now. take the focus away from the computer, put it back into the playing, the vibe, the band. that's the goal.
