First session for “Through The Turning Years”.
Location: Mill House Studio 2 (don’t laugh, we legitimately have 4 if you count James’ Ableton setup in his bedroom, and 5 if you count the lounge where we record hymns for church!)
Engineer: James Whitaker
Producer: Anne Whitaker
Audio Interface: IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo
Tracks: “Lisa Lân”
- fingerstyle acoustic guitar (LAG 200BCE, DADGAD capo 7) – Mike – stereo (Rode NT1 and internal pickup)
- strummed acoustic guitar (LAG 200BCE, DADGAD capo 7) – Mike – stereo (Rode NT1 and internal pickup)
Production notes:
Recording the guitars in stereo, so any edits affect both the pickup and mic tracks. We’ll split them for mixdown once we’re happy with edits.
Did some work on the recorded guitar tracks using Logic Pro tempo detection and mapping: James was all for recording to a click, but in the end we didn’t (because Mike’s not very good at it!), but used Logic’s features to map the tempo of the recording and then edit together a complete take. Not quite sure how this will pan out as a method yet.
