A few things are interesting about my new project.
For one Its being recorded in 4 or more studios, and all facilities are
using Sonar. I have never had that happen before...
This was a request of mine, and something I have found to be very
helpful.
The 4 studios that I'm counting are just studios I'm tracking in, or am
producing tracking in. I do have a few overdubs from guys who are using
other venues, but so far even they have been using Sonar.
With the tracking of drums, (using as many as 12 microphones), at least
2
or 3 tracks of bass, anywhere from 4 to 8 tracks of guitar, 4 to 8
tracks
of keys, as many as 10 tracks of percussion, and anywhere from 1 to 12
tracks of horns, sonar is holding up great! That's a lot of power for
all of that audio being recorded at 24-96... Plus all the affects!
Though its a little late in the game, I have invested $300 in a video
camera to get footage of my sessions.
In weeks to come I'll be posting more content on youtube of the tracking
and mixing of the record.
Its quite a cast of folks who are playing on it and co producing. Tom
Schuman who's the keyboardist from Spyro Gyra, Steve Oliver, who's a
huge
name in the world of smooth jazz, (he has had the number 1 song on
Billboard for 7 weeks in the smooth jazz category), Andrew Neu, who is
another up comer, (before signing to Nu Groove Records he was the sax
man
for Bobby Caldwell), Will Donato, yet another great sax player who is
busting the charts wide open, Emburto Valla, who's a huge name in the
drum and percussion world, the Dancing Dots email lists vary own Jörgen
Hansson is playing keys on a track, and more!
This may be a little off topic I know, but it is music related, Sonar
related and CT related. Like I said the hole thing is being done in
Sonar...
At some point down the road I'll be doing a podcast/ video in which I'll
be mixing the project in Sonar with CT.
In the mean while, feel free to check out my first video. This is me
and
Steve Oliver tracking at Westie World Studios on Monday September 6th.
You will have to pardon our guitar endorsement plugs... The video isn't
much to see, but I know some folks take an interest in things like this.
I didn't want to give to much of the song away on the video. I took a
20
minute video and edited it down to about 5 minutes.
Here it is!
