Day 5
Spent today singing, recording, listening then deleting. Not happy with anything I've been signing at the moment. Spent a few hours listening to Daniel Gildenlow from Pain of Salvation singing and feeling sorry for myself. It then occured to me that my best vocal recording has been done when I set up the mics, got things properly sorted before I started then recorded whole takes – the best recordings have been captured when things felt right. So, tomorrow morning I shall attempt to record with the right feeling. Let's see if that works.Day 6 Throat still awful. Didn't sing. Set up room ready for tomorrow though. Hopefully I'll get something good down.
Day 7 Successs!! Huzzah. Today I recorded vocals for 6 of the 8 tracks on Ironbark. I'm not sure if they'll end up being the final, final takes or not, but they sounded good my voice is in okay shape after a week and a bit of rest and practice. More importantly, I'm actually feeling up beat about my singing for the first time in ages. The mp3 attahced to this blop post is an extract from The Cartographer's tale with vocals I sang today.
