I've been cleaning out a lot of old stuff from two offline PC's that I used to use constantly for audio editing and mixing.
Among other things, I also came across some (incomplete) pictures that I randomly snapped while working with the Counting Crows on their Sessions.
These were all that I could dig up so far but, I know there's a lot more --somewhere!!
At this stage, we had already laid down all of the ground tracks (the framework for the entire mix)
so, it was just individuals popping back into the studio from time to time to hammer out small overlays and "punch-in's" which left a lot of time for everyone else in the band to
take a break and have fun fucking off! It was my job to keep them happy and give/get them whatever they asked for to keep the vibe flowing :)
Anyway... here we are (even my "#1 Super Fun Time Girl" Cammy) hanging out and playing basketball at the studio. The lead singer, Adam Duritz, is on page 7. He had JUST come from knocking out vocal tracks.
Crazy eh? It's shit like this that you don't go around blabbing about. You just did your job and had a great time too!
Ya get one go on this crazy merry go round called LIFE so, ENJOY THE RIDE!
Cheers!
PS: That's me (2nd engineer) at the soundboard. The good ole days :)
