Four new vocal tracks

Set up the studio to record a new lead vocal track for "Aftershock". Used a second mike stand to support a towel folded in two placed directly behind the vocal mike to act as a makeshift isolation / anechoic chamber (of sorts). It definitely helped to cut some of the room reverberation from bleeding into the mike, which seems to have made the vocal track a bit tighter to my ears.

The first take was a good one, with the mike pre-amp a bit too hot. The track distorts a bit in places, but might be a keeper. The next take used a limiter on the mike. The resulting track was an okay performance, but the recording was dead sounding. Takes three and four were recorded clean (no limiter), with the gain a little lower than on take one. At present, it seems to be a toss up between takes one and four. Will leave the choice to another time.

The guitar solo seems fine after all. The performance is good, so it maybe just a question of finding its correct place in the mix.
