Joan was tracked in one take at Butch Walker’s Ruby Red Room in Atlanta. We used a stereo mic setup on the piano, I think it was 2 414s but I’m not 100% sure as it was a while ago. The vocal was a u47 I believe, and yes there was vocal bleed in the piano mics and vice versa. That was part of the beauty of it all.

Recording “Letters” with Butch Walker
The best records you make as a Music Producer are always the easiest to make. Butch Walker’s “Letters” was one such record.
Recording Bass Guitar
“Jim- Whats the hardest thing to record?”
For me its Recording Bass Guitar. The technique, the part, the bass, the amp (if needed) all play a huge part in making it sound like it’s part of the band.
Music Submission to Music Producers, Music Supervisors, Publishers, etc.
A growing trend I see amongst artists submitting music to me, is to email me a link to their music on a 3rd party sight. At this music site, I have to search for the artist or sign up for the site to hear the song. This is not good!
Audio File Conversion
As a Music Producer, a question I get all the time is “Jim, what’s an easy way to convert my Audio file formats?”.
The process of file conversion as related to Audio Conversion used to be a bit of a pain, but no longer is. I use a very simple FREE desktop Audio file Conversion software.
