We're in Los Angeles. Taking off in a moment in the car. To get over to the studio. Time
to start recording some vocals.
Ok, here's the humor. I've just rolled up to the parking lot of the studio where I'm
recording with George Leger, over here, the third. He's got sore feet. So, we're walking
in. About to get started with doing some recording and having some fun. Of course I've got to
have some tea before I start yodeling out of my mouth. [yodel yodel] But it will be
an awesome day of having fun in the studio. Enjoy. See you soon.
Currently we're working through some issues that George has with playing the mix back,
before we get into the concept of me actually opening my mouth and making some more vocals.
That are not just demo vocals.
Bonus points to YouTubers who can figure out where that riff comes from.
We got the mics all set up and what we're gonna do is we're gonna test out this particular
setup to make sure it sounds, *** brilliant. [*** brilliant].
Turn back the click on?
Don't you love that? That's George's dyslexia in action, right there.
That's Canadian speak isn't it?
Canadian speak, ha ha ha.
Eh?
Just for those out in YouTube land. This is a Parker Fly guitar.
Yes, very nice guitar. Wish I had one actually.
It was given to me by somebody that is very big in the independent music world. Or at
least was at one point in time. He's now kind of retired. His name is Mr. Derek Sivers.
Derek Sivers, thank you very much for your contribution to this song. That we're using
We're doing a little production work at this point. We've decided to nix the pre chorus,
which you've already found out. And we've decided to nix some vocals in the chorus there
were, uh, filling too many holes. After we do a bit more production work, we're going
to ad some ad libbers. Ad libbies. No? We're not, we're not doing any? Oh, cause there's
not enough holes. Not enough room. So much for ad libs.
You know what they say about ad libs? *** ad libs.
You say you want to try another octave higher. I'm not sure that'll be overkill, but I'm
certainly willing to try.
Well then, shall I double the other choruses first?
Ah, no. I'm just going to use this part for all of them.
No, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes.
No, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes.
I don't like cut and paste.
Dude. I don't care. This is not really that important.
It is.
*** prima donnas.
I don't feel like a prima donna, but thank you.
You're a *** leo, what are you talking about.
That doesn't make me a prima donna.
Yes it does.
No, it just makes me king of the jungle. Or my jungle anyway.
It has been an awesome trip. The vocals are done. It's time to do the mix. Back to the
studio. So long LA, it's been fun being back. It feels like a slice of home. See ya on the
flip side.
