Anyway, over 20 master 2" reels were filled with various "takes" through out late December through the first 2 weeks of January. In some cases as many as 5 or 6 master takes were saved of a song, each representing a run through by the whole band of a song, that was deemed good enough to save. These run throughs were primarily for getting a perfect take of the drums, and where possible the bass guitar as well.

These run throughs were primarily for getting a perfect take of the drums, and where possible the bass guitar as well. Lead and rhythm guitars and [[Rivers|Rivers's]] vocals were in there as well, but these parts were generally regarded as scratch takes - just there to fill out the sound as the band played the song as a whole. Later the guitars and vocals (and depending on the song, the bass) would be re-taped, using up free tracks until there wasnt enough to spare. Then, assuming they had gotten better takes of the bass and guitars, the original scratch tracks would be considered fair game for taping over with other things like the final vocals and such. | ||
Over the course of the recording, the assistant engineer would make DAT tapes of whatever was done that day, as safety back-ups and for reference. From these a "daily CD" was created by [[Karl]], which was burned in whatever running order was popular that day, and each rough cd would range (as the recording went on) from songs that were in a very rough state to songs that had had a lot more work don't to them. The effect of listening to the CDs could be rather odd, as a polished sounding song would often lead into a rough instrumental of the next track. | Over the course of the recording, the assistant engineer would make DAT tapes of whatever was done that day, as safety back-ups and for reference.
