Pro Tools, of course. Seems like it's become the standard. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

Cool, now how's the mixing coming and where is it being mastered?
Those pictures are dark but that's because a studio should be inviting like a womb. Hopefully that's not already been used because that's the new name of my studio. "The Womb" "Womb Records" I see the logo in my head already but I digress. Thanks for the updates So you didn't bring the organist from the P-Funk or you did? I'm :confused: - edit [Edited 6/3/05 16:39pm] | |

But who cares. LISTEN TO THE DRUMS! 
Edit. Oh. I forgot. I was messing with the mix - trying to see what it would sound like if I put the very ending back at the front... so it starts off crazy. So, yeah, just ignore that too. So, then, to re-cap. Here's a rough rough. Ignore everything on it. Yeah. That sums it up. The sources sound great, and the music is funky. The only thing missing is the final mix. Great work  | |

otan said: Okay, I'll try to add the photos here.
First - the big recording room - this is just all the guitars. Ooh it was Christmas time. (the guitars on far left and far right are mine, yawn) 
Here's the main control room - I didn't get a shot of all the doodads, (compressors, verbs, eqs, things that go beep, etc) 
Here's the vocal booth - the drums were recorded in here as well - this is just a shot of the microphone really, big whup: 
Here's the smaller control room (that's attached to the vocal booth)  OMG. that's the same console I'm working on! Amek Angela II!!! It's a nice console, even though I'm not really fond of it's EQ. Looks like a nice studio.  | |

I didn't use the P-Funk organist. In fact, I think we're leaving all my original tracks in there, except for the harmonica solos, those have been replaced.
We're now in the stages of picking the bad spots and replacing them with previous takes; a bad note here and there, fluffing out the choruses, stuff like that. I've said it already and I'll say it again. I had no idea it could take this long to record a song! My previous experiences in the studio have been "come in, pay, record, mix down, have a nice day" all at once. I'm pretty much sick of my own voice at this point. But hey, on a way-cool note, I heard my 2-year-old singing the chorus to "whatchagonnado" in the car this morning. That's mind-blowing. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

hey I just listened to that clip...is it called Oh Face or summink....?
Anyhow..  that is good! Also, maybe this is immature of me, but the "mother fucker.." bit is cool too. Swearing in songs is way underrated..
Great energy coming off the drums - like someone else said, it sounds like it's gonna come apart at the seams but never does. I think that is the essence of a great drummer - it sounds like it's alive and has a life of its own but it still stays in the pocket.  [Edited 6/6/05 3:49am] | |
