Preparation Is The Word
We just finished a “recording fest” with an artist from South Carolina by the name of Kat Coffman.
She arrived here at 1AM last Saturday, and we started working in the studio on Saturday morning, worked all day and into the evening.
She and Sheryl worked together on Sunday, while I went to play a gig, and we worked all day Monday.
We worked Tuesday until just after 4pm, when she had to leave to catch her flight back home.
So, how much did she get done? At least 20 lead vocals, and backing vocals on several songs.
How did she do it? One word: preparation. She came in with an agenda, and had rehearsed her vocals thoroughly.
Sheryl produced the vocals, coaching Kat through the sessions, and I ran the board.
We love sessions like this, where the artist is well prepared, and a great deal is accomplished.
But now I have a lot of mixing to do!
