Everything felt strange this morning, and then I realized that the clocks changed.

Spent like 4 hours recording and mixing today. I’m in the danger zone of having now learned enough that I’m getting too futzy with things.

I’m so lucky to have Taharka Brothers local to me. Somehow, I never had the Black Cherry Chunk until this week and it’s insanely good. Added to my top tier of ice cream, alongside Honey Graham, Pistachio, Caramel Crunch, and Peanut Butter Cup.

I was having some trouble today recording anything using my new Keeley Octa Psi on the fuzz side. It’s just hard to make a Muff cut with anything but lead sounds. But then I realized there was a part of one of our songs that we wanted to add some musical feedback.

I charged that sucker up, activated max feedback, shook the hell out of my hand and guitar to get some vibrato and slide action, and added some haunting reverb in post.

Now I can’t hear the song without it.

I’ll have to learn how to replicate it live without taking away from the other part I should be playing at the same time.
