John Valencia*, who is awesome, came by our practice space last night to help us get ready for recording. I am simultaniously in awe of and totally leary of the technical end of recording.
First let me say I regard it as something close to a miracle that sound can be recorded and replayed at all. I understand the theory behind it, but I'm still amazed that I can carry around thousands of hours of music in my pocket, let alone record my own songs in my house.
I am super impressed by people who have deep knowledge of the technical aspects of the recording process and are able to use the studio as another instrument.
At the same time, for myself, I just want to press record, perform the song, and have it sound good. I don't want the technical process of figuring out which cable goes where to take time and energy away from the creative process. So...hopefully that won't happen...

*John played in Glad Hearts from pretty much the beginning until pretty recently. He produced and engineered our EP and LP, and at one time or another, played pretty much every instrument in the band. He also played singing saw as part of the largest chorus of singing saws in the world.
