This session started at 12:00 and we finished at about 14:30. I was an assistant alongside Alex Dudley, with Mat Quinn engineering and Alex Ross performing/producing. After we had set up our microphones on the drum kit and set levels we encountered our first problem, Pro Tools crashed before we were about to save, so we had to set all the levels again. After we did this, we did our first take and it went very well with no mistakes (one take Ross is back!). We did another take just in case but Pro Tools froze and then crashed again at the end of the recording. Luckily we saved after the first take and decided to use that since it was a great take.

Afterwards we set up the SE2200 so we could record some vocals/dialogue ready to be vocoded for our space ship announcer. We all took turns reading some lines from a quickly put together script and ended up recording some pretty funny mess-ups for the blooper reel. We did however manage to record our lines despite Pro Tools crashing again somewhere in-between. The samples are being shared throughout the group for use in all of our tracks.
