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 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.
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.
Recording Methods – Recording A Song A Day
One of the most frequent questions I get asked is “Hey Jim, How do you like to schedule your Recording sessions?”
