Slingshotmillion2, The studios, Vintage news

Gareth Harris, & Skip Taylor

Leave a comment

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with two great guitarists. One a bass guitarist, the other a plain, guitarist.

The day was scheduled to where once the first studio session finished, the next session would start.

So Skip Taylor was first.

He is working on his own little program where he is doing everything. Vocals, guitar, etc. He told me this before we got to the studios.

Then Gareth Harris came after him to record bass parts for the band Slingshotmillion2. Overall it was a great day.

Got to work with two great musicians, as well as talk a little bit about picks and guitars. As well as find out about a different Train routing website called (Eki-Spert) for foreigners like myself.

So, that is what`s happening on the home front!

Chris Larke and Toki Shimizu

Leave a comment

This morning I woke up to none other than Toki Shimizu. He just recently came back from visiting the states. He is also a Stillbliss customer, and used us a few years back.

I opened the toilet door after going to the bath room, and there he was, right in front of me. I was amazed.

Anyways, music related news, with Chris Larke; He recently asked me to mix a track for him.
We used The waves power pack, as well as Antares autotune.

He likes the results. We are just figuring out right now whether one main vocal is good, or two doubled main vocals are better.

He recorded tracks in a studio in England, then sent off the tracks to me for mixing. We will also be mastering this track, as well as DJ Ali`s tracks in the near future.

For mastering, I use IkMultimedia`s T-Racks Standard edition.

If you watched our 2017 tour on youtube, you`ll see what I mean.

Chris`s “Donald Trump F*** yeah” is a remake of the famous “America F*** yeah” Song. Instead he rewrote the lyrics for a new song, most likely called “Donald Trump F*** yeah!”

This song will also be released on our label, Stillbliss records.

Anyways Peeps. Stay alive. Stay happy! Stay blessed.

Thats it from me and stillbliss.

Peace!

Today I had the privilege to work in the studio again. This time recording drums for the band that I am also in- Slingshotmillion2.

We recorded five songs in three hours.

Three are complete. He will be coming back day after tommorow.
This shot was taken today.

We are using Sonar Producer edition, as well as Waves plugins.
I didn`t feel like going for a jog today, since it is really cold. So I opted rather to stay in front of the heater and blog about today.

Other than that, another Blissful experience at our studios.

Stay tuned for more news. As we will be recording more drums day after tommorow. As well, as a fusion guitarist on the 26th of this month.

By the way I also do Instagram. Check me out @jessesoupritchard.

I also am on Twitter @Jesseprit.

Just yesterday I was working on Mastering Chris Larke`s four new tracks. They are renditions of the Japanese “Kaeru no Uta”. He paid us for mastering the tracks, as well as our time to make the four tracks. Mixing and mastering. Thanks Chris!

He will also be using Stillbliss records as his label for these releases.

We also recently have been getting jobs from DJ Ali.
He`s been asking us for what the key to certain songs are, as well as pitch shifting songs.

And very soon we will be recording drums, bass, Vocals, & guitar for Slingshotmillion2.

On the 18th of this month we will start recording of the drums, and then the bass, guitars, then vocals, then mix, and then master.

That`s the usually order of our Multi-tracking that we do here.

Skip Taylor will also be coming over to record some fusion guitar on the 26th.

Today I got the ok to master his four tracks, that are remixes of the Japanese “Kaeru no Uta” lullaby.

It`s a kind of Mockery on the song, as he has four tracks,

“Kaeru in the Round”- Frog in the round.
“Kaeru Short”- Frog Short.
“Oshiri in the round”- Butt in the round. But he sings about farting.
“Oshiri Short”- Butt short. Also talking about farting. Just shorter.

He will be distributing these four tracks on nearly all online retailers; Itunes, Google play, Amazon etc.

He will be using Stillbliss Records, as his Record Label.

DJ Ali, will also be using our mastering services, like I mentioned earlier. As well as using our label.

And Skip Taylor will be coming over on the 26th this month, so Stay tuned.
Oh yeah, also on another musical note, this years Grammy Nominees album, all the tracks are dope! Bought the cd. No regrets!

OK. Now another sip of Cola!

Live, Slingshotmillion2
