CHRIS CAFFERY Checks In From The Studio - "Doing Everything Myself Is Exhausting, But I Feel The Results Will Be Worth It"
June 1, 2008, 16 years ago
SAVATAGE / TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery has issued the following update:
"All is well here in studioland. Pretty much done with vocals. Have a few words to fix here and there in songs and a few edits, but really close. Very happy with the singing. All that is left is lead guitar on 11 of the 13 songs, drums, bass, keyboards and mixing...Ok...still alot...but I hope to have most of the leads done this week and drums will be finished by mid-next week.
Then I will get bass done to the finished drums and do keyboards and a few background vocal things.
Once this is done I will take everything, edit and consolidate it, clean the tracks and get ready to mix it. I am thinking of doing every bit of engineering except for the drums. This includes the mix.
For once I want things exactly the way I hear them. This will take time, but if I spend one day per song mixing I should be on schedule to have the entire CD done and ready for mastering by July 7th.
Really excited about the songs this time. I am proud of this CD. I definitely think people will be surprised when they hear it. Since I am not on a studio time clock I am spending extra time on the vocals and guitars. I want some cool leads. I figure this CD I will actually let people hear what I can play!
By October you should be able to hear the whole CD.
Doing everything myself is exhausting, but I feel the results will be worth it."
