Gospel Success.

Another great session with Ossie Bowe.

Ossie was able to get the Gospel group together again last night and again everyone left smiling.
Ossie worked them hard but at the end of the session they had another really nice sounding song.
I think Ossie likes working in my studio. He emailed me this morning and told me the sound on the tracks were wonderful.......... Nice!

Last night was drums, Rhodes, Bass guitar and vocals.

The drums were miked with 2xACM1200 overhead, SM57 on the snare, RE20 in the bass drum, 2x e602's on the first 2 toms and another 57 on tom 3. Also one of the new Rode NT55's on the Hi-Hat and another NT55 on the ride. Like I said, its Ossie's session and Ossie likes plenty mics on the drums. The drums sound Awesome!!

The Bass guitar went direct into the API mic pre.
The Rhodes was amped with the old Ampeg Jet and miked with an EV RE15. Again we had the Rhodes amp out in the front room. That amp makes the Rhodes sound gorgeous.

The vocalist were in the control room with Ossie with handheld mics.

Twas a great session.

I'm off tonight.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are all booked with Peter Peters.
Hopefully at the end of this all of his songs will be really close to sending off to be Mastered. As long as Peter does not decide to keep adding things we should be on schedule.

This is going to be a great album!


I'm getting hungry.
