We've got some rappers from Pensacola going right now, my set with the band is in a few minutes.

No idea when I'll answer questions, be warned.

Have you recorded anything yet and if so, how much experience do you have? Me and the drummer from the band I'm in just recorded our parts for a new song yesterday.

A lock-in?

Think slumber party.
Without sleeping
Or pre-teen girls.

A lock-in?

A lock-in is when a pub is officially "closed" and the doors are locked to stop people entering, but still serve drinks to those already inside for an extra hour or so.Technically illegal (something about serving alcohol past certain times, blah blah blah), but fuck they are good fun.

At least, I hope that's what he's referring to and I haven't mixed up the words.

It's not really like that in America.

We can serve alcohol till 2 or 3am in most places.

Damn, that sounds nice considering you have to wait 3 extra years for it.

Don't get me wrong, in the UK there's plenty of pubs/nightclubs that serve until they close at ridiculous o'clock in the morning, but IIRC the pubs need extra licenses to do that. Doesn't stop them though, the laws are hardly enforced regarding this (and depending on how rural you are, the legal drinking age is... "lenient" by several years too).

Now I'm really clueless as to what Rocketman is doing if it isn't a true lock-in. Rocketman, what sort of lock-in is this?

I have a 6 song acoustic ep I made completely myself, made in 2013.

I've been working on a single for a few months, just waiting on my coworker to fix his computer and finish it. It's basically the first song I've made that's full band, with electric guitars and drums and what not.

Im very impressed with it though. Not showing off in it much,  I just want it to sound good.

it's something kids who are losers go to, it's usually at churches but I've heard of schools and youth groups doing them. You get "locked in" to a place so parents feel like it's age to send their kid to and there's usually games and shit and everyone stays up all night

I've never heard of one just for a football team though

Nice. The one that I did is our third song we've recorded and I think it will be the best one yet. None of us have the equipment/know how to record our own stuff so we went into a studio.

Problems with studios are money and time.

Money wasn't an issue for me because our 'manager' (my bass teacher) and the singer paid for it.

Time wise, I find that if you know your part, it doesn't take long at all to record it. It took us about 2 hours to get ours done including the setup time.

ah well that's good. Free studio time is best studio time
