We've now had two more half-day sessions with Rosie and Ant in the recording studio. These two, although time-consuming, have gone a lot smoother and been a lot more productive. There's still an issue with the input signals (that I can't believe no one before me had noticed), but as I'm not recording drums or using over 8 microphones at any point this didn't effect me.
I'm a lot more comfortable using Control Room 1 now, with a much better handle on the D-Command mixing-desk.
We've now completed the drums, guitar and bass for four songs, I'd like to revisit the piano tracks if we get a chance and I've only recorded Rosie's vocals for two of the tracks. All that's left now is the lead vocals for the other two tracks and the two backing-vocal tracks from Emily and Tabz.
Grant's been with me on each of the days filming the progress and we've compiled a lot of footage to edit together videos to go along with the tracks. We also attended Rosie and the band's final assessed performance for her degree and filmed the whole thing, along with John Howe, who was kind enough to help out. This was my first proper use of filming with my 550D, and was good practise with photography (and lots of colour-correction in Photoshop) too.
We got the recording of the gig from the sound desk, but the quality wasn't great, so rather than edit the footage together as a separate project, we'll probably incorporate it into the EP recording documentation.
