Studio Sesh

The past four days I have spent a total of 24 hours in a professional recording studio with my band, 6STRING. During our studio sessions we completed two songs which will be released on Spotify and Apple Music within the month. We began the process by recording drums. With over twelve drum mics strategically placed by the millimeter, we spent a whole day making sure everything was tight and in time to the metronome beat for beat. Day two we knocked out all the guitar parts. By the end of the day my hand was cramping but I knew I had done the best job possible. Our bassist threw down some sick lines that we weren’t expecting, and through experimentation we made a solid track. Finally, we added a slight bit of synth just to fill up the overall sound, completing all instrument tracks. Day three: Vocals. Boy this was a fun one. Our poor singer had to belt out his voice for hours until we had everything perfect. Our bassist as well as myself went into the booth to record backup vocals. The final day we sat together and worked on mixing and mastering, experimenting with effects and different tones. The overall experience was life changing, and the process was exhilarating. Hearing everything come together track by track was unreal and being there allowed by to see how much work it actually takes to make a song.
