Studio Nights
Tonight we recorded our friend Jay Pratt playing fiddle on our debut single ‘Small Town Serenade’. Recording is finished. All up to Nathan now to mix and master the track.
Scott in the studio on Saturday figuring out some guitar parts.
Studio update! 17/2/13
So on Saturday myself (Scott), Toby & Nathan headed into the studio to work on our debut single ‘Small Town Serenade’. It’s a folk-rock song about living in a small English town, as well as the people that live in it. Toby laid down a great drum track and Nathan added a swinging bass line Then I put down the acoustic guitar parts.
This evening (Sunday) I headed back to the studio to record the vocals. Pouring as much emotion as I could muster into the recording which left me feeling completely drained by the end of it.
On Wednesday evening we are back in to record guest player Jay Pratt on the fiddle. After that, mixing and mastering and then it wont be long until it is released.
Bring it on!
