In 2014 we are recoring two bands called midnight noise and the stone martins. midnight noise like to play a variety of music from elvis presley to norgaard by the vaccine's. the stone martins consist of 3 woman 2 vocalists and 1 acoustic guitar they are a really individual band compared to the rest of the bands we could have recorded as the others have a more classic drumer bass, rythem guitar and lead singer set up.

 

 

 

 

2014 has started well in college me and the left side rollers have been recording bands in the studio. this is the first time any of us have recorded bands and it has been a mixed experiance with good and bad points but i guess that is how you learn what works and what doesnt. what i have learnt is being a producer/studio engineer is not just about being complacent with your gear and recording/editing techniques but much more than that. for instence managing a band is your role too as we missed out on a recording session because the band changed the song they wanted to record but didnt inform us so we didnt know the structure or bpm of the track so we cancelled that session.the next one was a bit better as we got most of the drums layed down just need a few bridges and an outro now. putting the drums down was a long process as the band was unsure of the structure and where the fills were ment to be but we got there inthe end. 

 

We have another recording session tomorrow which should be more produtive as the band have told me they are ready to record and have a plan to be finished with the drums and bass and rythem guitar.
