Good to have Friends.

After talking with Peter Peters about song #3 we decided it would be best to redo the vocals on that song.

This is the first time I have recorded and attempted to mix this type song so I put up a question on ProSoundWeb Forum for suggestions.

As usual I get lots of great answers from Pros from all over the world.
Mic placement, compression, EQ, Mic patterns. All kinds of techniques to try.

Then to top it all off, I get a phone call at work from Terry Manning at Compass Point Studios!!
He asked me a couple questions then offers to lend me a new prototype Lucas CS-? microphone that he thinks would do well in this situation. Of course I accept the offer and go pick up the mic from Compass Point after work. Mr. Manning is a really cool humble guy. I feel extremely privileged.

So, Peter Peters decided that tonight will be editing and some Rhodes tracks and we will do vocals on his Sunday session. He is also very excited to try the New Lucas Microphone.

This whole recording thing just keeps getting better and better, and to think that I had a Friend that kept telling me that I was "wasting my time". What a moron!
Ever time I go into the studio I learn something. Every session is different and they all have different challenges. As far as I am concerned its not possible to waste time as long as I am trying to achieve something.

I love it!
