The entire crew (l to
r): Bryan Schwartz (engineer/co-producer), Dave, Jay, Brian, Ralph
We're all listening very
closely, and as you all know, there's no way to be looking even slightly
happy when you're listening to something so closely. Normally, we're all
grins and giggles in the studio.
Us, with smiles on our faces because mixing concluded
mere minutes before we posed for this picture.
Dave, in the midst of composing yet another power ballad |
Everyone in the band wants to be the drummer. It's true. |
Ralph wants to be the guitarist. |
Bryan wants to be the engineer, luckily. |
Jay wants to sleep. We've found this little nook at the top of the studio to be quite comfortable. Try it sometime. |
Ralph wants his drums to sound perfect. Even though they're not his drums. |
Brain, overdubbing something
funky (notice thumb-popping action)
Dave, probably ordering
pizza or talking to his agent (?)
Ralpho, on the sound-chiggity
check, one, two.
Brian, trying to persuade
Dave on the virtues of not giving everyone on www.hotornot.com an automatic
10.
Jay, playing an entire guitar solo on just the tuning pegs! (using his tuner for guidance, of course. |
Dave, doing who the hell knows what. |
Dave, delivering a stunning scratch vocal track. |
Bryan turning some knobs and sliding some slidey-thingies. |
