All done!

Turns out it was two songs for a DVD soundtrack. That's all I know at the moment.

For speed I just DI'd my P into the desk, and let the plugins do the work.

Joe's vocal isn't on there yet, but the tracks are sounding good so far... I'm looking forward to hearing the finished things.

Nice one, WoT.

whatever we all may think of things like X-Factor it does offer opportunities for us all to get work if we are willing to exploit it.

Hope this brings more work your way WoT.

Finally got a mix of the tune:

(I'll leave this up for a couple of days and then I'll pull it)

Cheers, folks!

The drummer and guitarist are regular buddies of mine who have been in the biz for years. I love playing with this drummer - he's awesome. We lock in really well.

Mrs. WoT played accordion.

Apart from a (probably/hopefully wrong) feeling that the singer sounds like he couldn't possibly have written that lyric, that is an excellent quality recording and mix, really great performances and a nice song!

The bass sounds really nice, warm and rich, perfectly suited to the song. That actually sounds like a band.

Very impressive mate!

You're spot on - it's actually a Jimmy Nail lyric. He's qualified to write it. :)

It's a great studio - the best in Newcastle IMO. Really happy with the bass tone. DI'd via one of those magic plug-ins.

Haha! Jimmy Nail :) All I know is Croc Shoes, but it does sound like and older man's lyric.

I think you should become an ambassador for digital now, fella!

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

It's funny on those type of pop tunes, when you're in nice studio the Di thing works time and time again... assuming you have a nice bass (which you do). I love recording through amps etc, but bass sometime is just cool through a good DI

How much artistic licence is allowed/expected with a gig like this?

I find it immensely encouraging yet strange that given the technology available the they actually employed real live musicians for a track like this.

Generally I can play anything I like as long as it fits the track. They're always fairly relaxed sessions and we all trust each other.

I know what you mean re: your other point, but there's always quite a lot going on with 'real' musicians up here. I don't know whether it's stubbornness or what... ha ha. It's a good scene and a nice set-up.

Edited for Ou7shined's perspective. :)

Whoops... I was holding my atlas upside-down. :)

Apologies to Ou7shined for the lazy assumption.
