Recording part 2

Recording continues...

Some folks have asked why we are taking so long to record 'Orbit 'Round Me', a new tune. We have taken more than a month (but we only record on weekends lah...). I'll say we want to get it perfect. We've scrapped the original recording and redone it again. We are almost done in terms of the instrumentation: the overdubs, additional layers, etc. except for the vocals and live percussion bits.

When they ask, "Why are you going to bounce the tracks down to 44.1kHz, 16-bit to SONAR 3 and mix then if you are going for perfection?" That's when I poke the muthafucka's eyes out...


Always good to have a light-hearted moment before we start recording.


The producer


The engineer


The artist


Keyboards layers on the song...


A look from the recording control room which is actually the fucken toilet.


Domestic help are gettin' uglier these days...


Additional guitar layers. Doing the whole wall of sound thing for the outro...


Miking the amps...


Miking the amps...


Failed attempt on day 4.


Additional sound layering on the song's chorus


Highly primitive way of getting stereo/ ping-pong signals. We panned one mike hard left and the other hard right.

I love recording...
