Timmy drops some Tunes

Tim went in to do some lead guitar overdubs the other day. Here's what he thought of his experience:

-----

Well, it was my first experience in the studio and it was a rather frustrating and unproductive one. Although I flew through the first track, which is the hardest that I'll be laying down, my gear sounded off. like real off. luckily the two guys engineering the recordings are both guitar techs (one's for Biilly Talent right now, I hope he knows what hes doing) so they were all over it. first checking intonation, and seeing that one of my strings was way off (for those of you who arent following, just replace the last sentence with "Something that makes any guitarist sound like shit") they were not getting what they wanted from this guitar of mine, so they called up people they knew trying to get information and/or a sweet lefty that I could se for the sessions instead. There were no lefty guitarists handy (how many do you know?) and it took a couple hours of me watching them turn knobs and plugging into tuners for them to find the real problem and remedy it. In the meantime, I layed down tracks for 2 others but it still sounded bad. Before I knew it, it was time to go. I was rather disapointed with how thigns go, but I definitely learned how to check gear. on the bright side, I got a professional course on guitar repair and maitenence. Im going in tomorrow with a repaired guitar or a beauty waiting for me. Regardless, I'm pumped for the fun day of recording tomorrow. Its a really intense but great process.
