What was planned
A split studio session from 6pm until 9pm was booked. The main aim of this session was to create rhythm guitar and rhythm guitar harmony tracks.
What was achieved
Rhythm guitar tracks were recorded. It was decided to double track the rhythm guitar and rhythm harmony tracks into the stereo mix panned to the left and right. This was done to make the guitars sound thicker, fuller, and 'beefier'.
Compression was added to the guitar tracks to 'tighten' up the sound.
The it was decided to leave the guitar solo unchanged because it now seemed to fit in with the fuller rhythm guitar sound.
A copy of the Reason drum track was made and incorporated into Cubase to beef up the cymbal sounds.
A rough mix was then undertaken to get a feel for the overall sound. This will need to be refined later.

Next Steps
Record bass guitar track (this should be the last bit or recording to do). Add huge (helmsdeep) reverb on fake drop delays together with some filter effects. Need more bass on outro synth to give a big bass sound on the finale.
