Vocals, Keys and Proofs....

Another productive session with Peter Peters last night.

We started with guide vocals for 2 newer songs, all went well.

Then onto some Keyboards, this time with a little different twist.
Peter has this ancient Yamaha keyboard that he loves the sound of. To me it sounds so so at best. We were running the left and right output directly into the API pres.
Last night I had an idea. The sound that Peter was using is a Hammond B3 type sound. Instead of running the signals direct I took the left mono signal and ran it into a low watt Fender guitar amp with a 12" alnico speaker. I miked it with an SM57 then into an API. It was glorious! so much nicer than going direct. The Fender amp gave the keyboard a nice round warm sound. It was great!
I will be experimenting more with this.

I am now in the process of proofing my new album cover with the CD duplicators.
It is truly a pain but I would much rather catch the mistakes now before they are all printed and shipped.
It looks like I will not be getting the albums shipped until the beginning of October. Oh well

LA DE DA.
