Bassist JOEY VERA To Launch Blog On Studio Methods And Techniques

Bassist Joey Vera (ARMORED SAINT, FATES WARNING, ANTHRAX) has posted the following message on his MySpace page:

"I will be starting a blog series on the methods and techniques I used during the making of A CHINESE FIREDRILL 'Circles' [solo project].

"I frequently get questions about how I do things in the studio so I decided to post blogs on just that. For the tech-minded or the 'studio-curious,' come on back soon for what details I can remember!

"Topics I'll cover will include:

* How the hell I came up with the songs in the first place!

* What happens next? Put the mind and hands to the record button.

* Techniques I used for getting sounds. Was that a fart?

* Writing lyrics and singing, or trying to.

* The dreaded mix.

"And some more stuff if I think of it. But I'll post these as soon as I can get them to print. First one will come soon. If any of you have specific questions, I may not be able to answer them all but maybe it will spark a topic for one of the blogs, so feel free to send any questions or comments with regard to recording, production thingys."
