Hello Everybody!
This month´s major subject is about the ever so important art of recording Vocals, along with drums, this is the instrument that will make or break your recording and we always have to be students of our trade in order to improve.
Some dubtips that may become useful in other music styles and my favourite program "Studio Buddy" with tips for recording just about anything.
We finish of with a dive into the magic sound of Cosimo Matassa, where both Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Rollling Stones and Creedence Clearwater revival came to record. We´ll be back in August, best wishes /Toby
