Took on a Sunday afternoon project to record several demo tracks for Ground Floor, a new local cover band. I spent a bit of time the first week of January to get things ready (getting out all the mics/cables/stands, setting up the templates in Sonar, etc.), it was nice to get down to business that Sunday... folks started showing up around 11:00 to set up gear, started recording the backing tracks (guitar/bass/drums) around 1:00, moved on to recording vocal tracks by 3:00, and started packing things up by 4:30. I spent a little time doing some editing and mixing Sunday and Monday evenings, and although there are still a few things I need to clean up (mostly tweaking bass & vocal levels), overall the tracks are 90% complete. Not bad for a half-day's effort.
If you want to check the demo tracks out, you can listen to them here:

(Note: The songs Mustang Sally, Hard to Handle, Jumping Jack Flash were recorded this session; Hey Joe, Knockin' on Heaven's Door were recorded here with a different lineup back in July, but were recently re-mixed a bit.)
