Singer/Songwriter Riaghan O' Callaghan came back up to Killybegs again today to re-record the song she had previously done for The Peer Project. The song was a relatively newly written song of the artists and it was actually quite a long recording process considering the simplicity of the song, however I wanted Riaghan to be happy with her performance in it so we did as many takes as necessary and eventually finished the song perfectly in one day.
The equipment we used was my home studio set-up including an Alesis Firewire 16 desk, two alesis mkll monitors, macbook pro with Logic Pro Studioi 9, AKG perception 170 condenser mic, Rode NT1-A condenser mic, and an Ibanez electric acoustic guitar.
On self evaluation I believe I could have asked the artist to have the track very well prepared as it could have saved us a lot of time and hassle and could have led to a simpler and more enjoyable recording experience for her.
For my next stage in the project I will tomorrow, mix and master the song to achieve the desired and suitable sound for the track. That will be 3 songs fully mixed and mastered in the home studio along with some live performances we have recorded for The Peer Project from actual gigs. We are considering using one of these performances, allthough they are not as high quality as the studio recorded ones, they bring a new element to the channel, and a new option for the artists interested in being recorded.
Another blog will be added tomorrow after the mixing and mastering process is complete.
Carl.
