Our 2nd recording session went ok, but not great. We were only able to use the recording room for 2 hours, which was nowhere near enough. We're going back on Sunday for our 3rd session, so hopefully we'll get everything we need then. As for the track, I'm getting the hang of being able to say where the mixing ends and where the mastering will pick up. I think I had developed a bad habit of trying to mix and master at the same time... That only caused confusion and further frustration on my part, so I'm trying to stop myself from crossing that boundary. I'm going to have to ask a pro to master our track when they're done anyway. (I highly doubt that I can master the art of mastering that normally takes years of ear training in less than a year)

Our first track is coming along fairly well. This track we're working on doesn't reek of "me", though.... I don't think anybody would really classify it as being my tune, but the intention of the track was to bring out the MCs rather than the beat itself, and I think it does the job rather well, so I'm going with it. :)
