Recording @ Long Track Studios

On Thursday 14th April The 633 entered Long Track Studios to start work on their first official release with Producer Nathan Wacey. The plan was to go into the studio and record 4 of what we think are our best tracks but they were going down so well that we quickly realised we'd be able to sneak another 2 in. So by the end of Day 1 we had 6 live takes of all the main instruments.

Day 2 was spent laying down Lead and Backing Vocals, as well as all the Guitar overdubs and Day 3 consisted of finishing the Vocals and laying down additional instrumentation (Piano, Organ..) and percussion.

Day 4 was a monster session as we tried to break the back of the mixing. Nathan worked incredibly hard that day while the rest of us lazy so and so's fell asleep on the sofa. We'd like to give a massive thanks to Nathan for putting us at such ease in the Studio, he really got the best out of us and also to his lovely wife Sarah who made sure we were comfortable and had enough beer and ice-cream.

If anyone is looking for somewhere to record Long Track is the place. They have mountains of vintage equipment, guitars and fx pedals and Nathan is an absolute pleasure to work with and a credit to his profession. The studio is surrounded by peaceful countryside and is frequented by 2 characters, Monkey & Ziggy the studio cats. Please check it out!

So what now? Well, because we now have 6 tracks instead of 4 this opens up a few more opportunities when releasing the EP. Please bear with us while we work out our plans, as soon as we know release dates, artwork details, launch party info then we will be sure to let you know first. In the meantime please enjoy the pics we took while recording the live takes.
