Just wondering.

Hey Andrew,

To answer your question about our process:

Most of the Blue Attitude songs I've done with Chris, and all of the ones we have done in the last five years, have started with me.
I develop the song idea and the basic structure, verse, chorus, bridge, etc., and send it to her. At that point it's all BIAB and maybe some guitar from me. Chris then comes up with the melody and lyrics. The structure may change at this point, she may want to add more verses for example, or may want the chorus in a different spot, etc., and I change the BIAB bed accordingly.
She then records her vocal and sends me the raw WAV file which I add to the project. I then record all my guitar parts and may build a new drum track with EZDrummer.
Then I render out the song with the BIAB bass track muted and Marty does his thing, he likes to go last.

Thanks for the listen!

Dave
