The listening Stool

 Today was another special studio day, this time in just sitting and listening to the (almost) finalised mixes for the Fox Barn Studios part of the coming EP. 

One track stood out as a potential, though perhaps unusual lead single. 

Afterwards I missed my train by 6 minutes so Dan & I were forced, unwittingly - to the pub!

The band-gang have approved the mixes so the next stage is mastering. 



Outboard spring reverb deployed! 


Automated reverb on lead
vocals - now that's perfectionism!

Off the tracks

 03/04/2025


Back with project-José , recording vocals & lead guitar for a co-written track. This is for a project that will take some months to complete, so stick around if you want to know more (eventually). 

Perhaps it's because he's a close friend (or am I looking for excuses?), but I did no vocal warm-ups or guitar warm ups before this session AND IT SHOWED! 

We got some great takes in the end though...
