New EP Session 2

Finished our session tonight around 10:30pm. My son went to bed and I worked on the mix until now. Worked on tracking all vocal parts for main song on EP tonight. Three part harmonies and such. Finished off rough mix.    Great software to help with production.   Every time I turn around I learn something new.

We're going to listen to the rough mix a few days on different speakers and headphones and let it sink in a bit. I'm sure we'll have some additions and corrections to make during our next session. Working on music with your kid is unbelievably great.

New EP Session 1

Began a new project last night. My son is producing a new EP. One new song and 4 unplugged versions of songs from a CD he released in September.

We began tracking drums, bass and guitars for the new song... About a 3 hour session. It's a fast paced tune with a hard edge. Lots of compression on all tracks. Studio One made putting the first cut mix together very easy.

This is the first complicated project I've used Studio One for. I'm finding it easy to use, pretty intuitive and most important... The work flow design saves lots of time compared to Mixcraft 5. Stepping up to a pro level DAW was a good idea.

We'll be starting vocals probably tonight. Three part harmonies throughout the song should be fun to produce.
