Finally I have a moment to write about the Protocol sessions. 8 great long creative days with Andy Timmons , Steve Weingart and Ernest Tibbs in Phantomrecordings. Most tracks cut without click track and all very natural and organic. It was a tough week as the material was new and some of it quite tricky but everyone played amazingly and I feel like we captured the live essence of this band. It’s amazing what playing a few shows does to a band. I am looking forward to mixing this record in January. Some pics for ya’ll!!!
