..........and comping over there.
2 songs comped last night with Peter Peters.
Vocals, guitars, keyboards all done. Time to mix.
Peter has decided to increase his sessions to 3 times a week. Sunday, Tuesday and Thursdays.
We got a really incredible sounding guitar track on song #2 thanks in part to Gavin Knowles elcheapo Fender Blues Jr. What a great sounding little amp. I have heard a couple of the vintage low watt Gibson amps that cost a fortune and this thing easily blows them away and its reliable. Dont believe all the hype about vintage gear, its just people getting rid of their garbage. Think about it, if you had a great sounding nice old amp would you sell it? If you had a troublesome old un-reliable bad sounding amp would you sell it, especially if there was a market full of morons that swallowed all the hype and were willing to pay outrageous prices sight un-seen? Sorry for the rant but hey, its my blog.
Thanks again Gavin!
BTW, I miked the Fender amp with an SM 57 > cheap Rapco cable > API3124 pre.
So, Sunday is vocals on song #3. We comped the guitar and keyboards on that song last night and it really does sound great. Its really nice to be able to hear these thing grow from a sketchy idea into a full blown song.
Tonight if I have time I will warm up the Lucas CS-? that Mr. Manning leant me. I want to experiment with compression and EQ settings before Sunday.
Saturday morning will be spent doing the final edits on my 5 songs to be sent away for mastering, and I think that I have a session with Tina Cartwright on Saturday afternoon.
Hmm, Tina should have her new keyboard!!!!! Lovely.
Creation is fun.
