This song is called “The evil that men do”. And Chris sent me some donero through Paypal for this job.
I used some C1 comp for some compression, and the Q10 for a high pass filter cutting some lows.
The track was only one sided on the right. So I changed it to mono to get the signal to come out of both speakers.
I do wish it were a stereo track, but I guess you get what you get.
Thats what weve been up to recently.
Pretty fun no?
Yesterday she came in kind of late. Right around 19:30.
We recorded vocals for the pop/punk band Slingshotmillion2.
We used the Shure KSM 32 Sl, running through our Neve based preamp, the Black Lion Audio BLA 173, into our vintagey Compressor, the FMR audio PBC 6a, into RME converters, then into Sonar.
We are still using the Waves Power pack. As that is really all we need. Of course we sometimes use the R-Verb, and L2 as well as the Trans x, like on drums etc.
But yesterday we got alot done. These trax that we recorded will be used on their new upcoming album soon to be released, where the drums, bass, and guitar all were tracked on SSL and Neve preamps.
But our good ol` Stillbliss factory has been busy.
Just because there are other studios out there aint meanin we aint gettin no jobs.
To the contrary.
We have also been getting job applications from Africa and other countries for interns to work here. But honestly, are you serious?
The music business is dead. Im barely making it by with just me as the producer/engineer. We dont have the financial resources to pay for another engineer, even though I wouldn`t mind hiring other accomplished acts.
Anyways. Thanks for staying tuned in for what`s blissful these days!
Stay tuned for more info in the near future.
Yesterday we recorded some Saxophone, and trumpet, from the famous Seasir & Nari.
We used Sonar.
They were real sweet.
And the session went off without a hitch.
This recording was for Slingshotmillion2s hit number "Dont worry”.
We used two Shure Sm57s, one mic going through the BLA 173 and PBC 6a. and the trumpet went through the Onyx pre`s.
It sounded sweet.
We are runnning through RME converters into Sonar`s 64 bit platform.
Stay tuned for more Blissful news.
Today we cover some ground on Jazz, life and getting wealth and health. Yes. We all know the Maxim by Benjamin Franklin: Early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy, wealthy & wise.
Of course do we actually do that? I mean honestly, do you sleep early? Wake up early? I know that us here in Japan are awake early. Life starts in the morning! Yes. Sometimes we might not have anything worth waking up to.
But, life itself- is really all you need to wake up to. Yesterday, I worked in the studio; mixing songs for my band, which will be touring around Japan in the next few months. And honestly, we WILL be waking up early, and maybe have a couple days worth of sleep taken away from us. They say; that sleep drains your body of bad toxins. So sleep, in itself, IS a healer. So, get yourself some sleep. Listen to good music, and be happy, wealthy, & wise! And remember; just having money ain`t meaning dat you are wealthy. Having kids, and a reason to wake up in the morning: THAT`s a form of wealthiness. So honestly, I`m here blogging on my computer, listening to Jazz on YouTube. And listening to the radio`s news- and I`m happy about it.
That`s really all you need. Good music, and happiness! The rest is all extras!
