North - Session 4 - 3rd January 2013

Session times: 8pm-10:30pm

North wanted to record 3 non-drum based songs for their new album, so this session was used to record Wayne's acoustic guitar and a guide vocal by Rebecca.

We started with a couple of run throughs to get the click tempo correct, and then recorded a 'guide-take' of guitar and vocal together.  During this time I set up 3 microphones around Wayne's acoustic guitar (2xCS02 and a sE2200) and also took a line out from the acoustic pickup.  I can blend together these 4 tracks in the final mix to make the best sound.  I then deleted the guitar track, and, listening on head-phones, Wayne could play along with the vocal track playing in his ears.

Hmm..what is the first chord?

Repeating this technique, we recorded the 3 songs: A Short Story About Love, Smile and In Denial.
