We started recording an album together back inMarch/April and today is the first session since the summer. Ian's been busy moving house and travelling around the world...
I work for three hours transferring all the backing tracks we've recorded so far onto the hard drive for further work, which will all now take place at Crispycat....
I break for brunch around 11 as Ian's due here at 12. In the event, he's running late and arrives around about 1:45...
So, while I wait, I finish off the digital editing of the individual tracks for "CBQ and James Jamieson Live at the Roxy"...
I work for 3 hours or so with Ian - today we are mainly taking stock of what we've done to date and we need to edit glitches, copy and paste parts of songs etc etc. We have around 42 minutes of material and the project will continue now in a couple of weeks...
After dinner (takeaway piza - mmm mm), it's back to the studio to finish off the final edit of CBQ & JJ (with a brief 30 minute break for "Arrested Development")...
It's sounding good and, once I've run it past Jamie, we may release it as is, without using any overdubs...
A productive day...

You should maybe dub crowd noises from a Robbie Williams concert between tracks for the Roxy recording ?
Don't think I haven't thought of that (though I haven't done it).
There is (at present) nothing on the recording which is not from the raw wav.file we received from the venue (which came as a surprise as we had no idea it was being recorded).
It's 48 minutes of fun - it used to be 56 minutes but I've edited out all the long silences as we changed the lyric sheets, along with the arsed up starts to various songs - you know, the way The Rolling Stones have done on their many live albums....
