Last Song Done, On to Reamping

On April 20, 2026April 21, 2026 By Drew PetersonIn Blog, Studio UpdatesLeave a comment

That's only 99% true as I have one or two overdubs left, but... the main melody guitars and solo are done for the last song on this album. It feels great to be able to write that. This song I was never sure if it was going to make the cut, and it almost didn't …

I Guess It Was Two Songs To Go, After All

On March 27, 2026March 30, 2026 By Drew PetersonIn Blog, Studio UpdatesLeave a comment

It's been a VERY busy month here, so this is really an update from two weeks ago. But, I wrapped up the second to last song on my album a few weeks back. This was a relatively heavy - for me, anyway, and it's arguably the heaviest song on this album - song that I …

One More Song Done, One, Maybe Two, to Go

On January 17, 2026January 17, 2026 By Drew PetersonIn Blog, Studio UpdatesLeave a comment

There were a few songs on this album I've been really nervous about recording because for various reasons they were really hard for me. This was one, and I'm breathing easier as I write this listening to a playback that, I think anyhow, sounds pretty good. I had a feeling more than a title for …

Errata – late December edition

On December 19, 2025December 19, 2025 By Drew PetersonIn BlogLeave a comment

I haven't posted an update in a little while now - I AM still working, though with the holidays life has been busy, but in general I've been going back and working on stuff that's already tracked that I think could be a little better. Pracrastinating, really, before turning to what should be a really …

July Update – Approaching the Midpoint

On July 20, 2025 By Drew PetersonIn Blog, Studio UpdatesLeave a comment

This is a long overdue update - in part because I've had the song I was working on done for about a week now, and in part because it probably should have been done weeks before that. Life's been getting in the way lately; work's been busy, family life has been busy, and then I've …

On to my favorite Strat, and another song done

On May 24, 2025 By Drew PetersonIn Studio UpdatesLeave a comment

I've ended up traveling for much of May, which I guess I knew about coming onto this but kind of put to the back of my mind. So, I haven't had as much time to record as I'd hoped, between a week away, a week back rebuilding calluses and overdoing it while relearning material, then …

Reamping: Does Gain Staging Matter?

On March 24, 2025April 15, 2025 By Drew PetersonIn Blog, Studio Updates1 Comment

...sort of a trick question, gain staging ALWAYS matters, but specifically does how hot you record your DI tracks matter? First, just a quick general studio update - life's been busy lately, but I think the bass tracks are done. I might go back and re-record parts of one, and I've got a 9th song …
