Killer Jam this week!
So the last few weeks we either havent been able to Jam, someone was missing or we just couldn’t find much inspiration (We hosted a big fundraising event March 6th which was eating up most of our time and brain space, the Fundraiser went off awesome, more on that in next post) Anyways this week we were writing songs while getting ready to write other songs! haahah music was just pouring out. One thing that I find really helps is that we have the Jamhub all dialed in and we are lucky enough to have the space and gear to leave everything set up 24-7. We just walk in sit down hit the power switch and we are live. Most musicains will find that when the monitor/headphone mixes are great its really easy to sing and be inspired by the great sound. I think we wrote five songs we are excited about in this 3 hour jam and we are really excited to get into the studio and get this album happening. One of the songs even has a line and mention inspired by the Jamhub hahah without even thinking about it, it has worked its way into our bands consciousness. We have gotten the hang of the record out channel on the unit as well which we had trouble the first two weeks getting a good mix. What we did is we took the headphone out on my Mbox2 and fed it back into the jamhub rear input so we can have a quick listen of the record levels in each payers headphone before we start. I am really suprised to II like to drive around and listen to all the rough ideas of songs and the sound quality is dynamite! Ill have a friend in the van and they will turn to me and ask who we are listenin to as they are groovin out in their seat.

It’s amazing when you’ve got someone watching because you know that what they’re hearing sounds very unmusical, and then pass them a set of headphones and watch them freak out because it sounds great in the cans!
Very satisfying. Can’t wait to see the video.
