I'd like to get more folks aware of what Wally and the Paupacks is up to in 2010 and what better way than expanding… Read full post »

Studio Update: Wed Feb 24

Final Vocals were recorded, along with nonsensical talking and noise making on The Ledgend Of The Ledgedale Bridge.

Lyrics came courtesy of our ole' friend Artie Smith. This the first time I ever wrote a melody around already written lyrics. I usually have the melody first, then try to piece words… Read full post »

Studio Update: Wed Feb 17th 2010

Mr. Rob  Xtd stopped by Noodle Studios to lay down a 'One-Take Holly' bass part on The Legend Of The Ledgedale Bridge.

I also added a cross harp solo and some scratch vocals. This song will make you think you're hanging out on the porch with your friends, kickin' back a… Read full post »

Studio Update: Tue Feb 16th 2010

Got a good hour in remixing the rough of Ledgedale Bridge. Rob will be heading over tonight to put down his bass track.

I think the song needs some blues harp, so once I get the inspiration I'll get around to tracking that too.

 Rumor has it there actually is… Read full post »

Noodles Loses The Mix!

I was minding my own business, getting final mixes for 15 Hours, All Gone and Daddy B.

But when it came time to hit Drugstore, I decided to track another guitar riff on the 'Zeppelin ' part.  This has to be by far the BEST mix I've ever created.… Read full post »

It's great to see the guys getting so creative each time we meet for a session. Jeremy added some beautiful hammond organ pads to Drugstore.

Tom added some hi hat overdubs on 15hrs.  I think it still needs a bongo part, but it seems I've been overuled.

Daddy B. is very… Read full post »

I finally finished my lyrics to Untitled #1, tracked my vocal parts, some oohs and added a vocal piece which was recorded using a crappy hiZ mic plugged right into the Leslie. It's the little production things like this that I feel make a song distinct.

A small slide guitar piece… Read full post »

After a long wait by Noodles and Rob, Tom and Jeremy finally showed up with  Leslie - The Rotating Speaker.  Seems Tom got lost on his way to Jer's and even stopped by the School for the Deaf to ask to use the phone! You can't make this stuff up.

All Gone is 'all done'. Some interesting production was added to the ending, you'll have to wait to hear it.

Studio Update: Tue Jan 5th 2010

Great session tonight. Lead and backing Vocals were completed on 15hrs, All Gone, Drugstore.

 Songs are sounding great - the best sounds I've ever gotten. I've owned a studio since around 1972. My first mixer was my 1971 Fender Vibrolux Reverb amp. We'd plug everything into the 4 inputs… Read full post »

Studio Update: Sun Jan 3rd 2010

Jeremy finished vocals on Drugstore - some rap parts. This is going to be a great tune to listen to! Also some feedback guitar was added. Cool stuff.

Added some guitar overdubs tonight. I needed to retrack some electric parts and added some acoustic stuff.
