So... I have a session with an X-Factor winner this week - Updated with final mix

[51m0n]

Plastic sheeting, check
Zip ties, check
Beretta 9mm, check
Blowtorch, check
Pliers, check
Shovel, check

Right, good to go

I'd say ear plugs, but somehow I think I'd enjoy hearing what I had in mind.....

It's funny. I've done some of those Xfactor type gigs and every artist is so different.. Some want come up to the musicians, want to know about them. Say stuff like that's for playing or just wanna chat etc. Others wouldn't know if you were the drummer or the tea boy and don't care..

It's never bothered me either way. It can be fun at times.

What are you recording?

jedward or paul potts?

Wasn't Paul Potts on Britain's Got Talent?

[wateroftyne]

ha ha - thanks for the responses. Bottomendian wins the prize for guessing correctly.

I've had a listen to some of his stuff on YouTube (just solo voice and piano) and he's not bad at all.

No secrecy, really.. I'm just not really sure what we're recording and what it's for yet. I'll let you know more when I know myself..!

Was that the "Joe McElderberry" guess, or the "I'm going to stab you and flay you" guess?

Dont forget the triumphant key change on the last chorus (of every song ...)

I'd love a session with Alexandra Burke.

Jedward didn't win.

Nooo!!! What a way to find out. Why didn't somebody tell me?
I'm seriously concerned about the integrity of this show now.

[skychaserhigh]

Joe Mcelderry did a spot before us yesterday at the Great North Run. He was a really nice lad and his voice was spot on.
Should be a good session to work on , enjoy !

[steve-bbb]

if its jedward leave the basses at home and just take something heavy with a nice sharp corner

[acidbass]

My manager is good friends with Louis Walsh, and apparently one of McElderry's plans for when he finished the pop-star to opera-star thing was to go on a tour of Ireland, which I would be involved with. Try not to make the basslines too complex, WoT

I think we both know that's not likely.

[fender73]

don't take any, turn up and insist someone goes out and buys you a bass.

[karlfer]

Whatever WOT, you should be very proud you are considered high enough standard to be asked.
Well done fella and enjoy.
Karl.

[merello]

Keep us in the loop! Hope it goes well.

Take the J. In fact, take any Fender unless it's a high end job. If there is big money and a producer who is quite particular about the sound he gets, take a Smith, a Fodera and Alembic and tell him to take his pick!

Even then they'd probably pick the Fender

[Chris2112]

Indeed. Perhaps why it's a struggle to find a 'great' sounding mainstream record from the past decade, sound quality is just not a concern there anymore!

Don't agree with this - Anything Pino has been on has sounded great. Not everybody wants the hifi tones of boutique basses, they don't suit all types of music.
