Studio Report, Vocals - Part 2

Maybe I can make a summary of the next few days:
vocal training, drinking lot’s of Rooibos tea with honey
(that’s a south african herbal tea, one of my favourites)
and singing till you drop

Nik was a great help during the recordings, he has a lot of patience and he came up with some pretty good ideas ... .

This studio experience was the best I’ve ever had.
This is the first time that I got the chance to record my vocals the way I wanted them to sound: no flat stuff but a clean, strong and dynamic voice.

Studio Report, Vocals - Part 1

The first day of the vocal recordings finally arrived ...

Unfortunately I was not allowed to go “shopping” like the rest of the band because the guys at the studio had already chosen everything I needed ...

I was blessed with the heavenly sound of a high quality Neumann microphone. He would become my only friend for the next five days in the recording room.

At the end of day one I already knew we were a great match !

We managed to record the lead vocals of three songs on the first day: an amazing result.

Studio Report, Keys - Day 3&4

The last two days went pretty well.

The rest of the songs came out smoothly.

We still had some time left to add a few extras here and there.
We hope you like it
