So what a weekend! Had a recording session again yesterday with qamaruz after chilling out with the guys (Qamaruz, Marsya, Farah, Maziz, Faiz) at the beach. Yeh, we're slacking off and having our fun times at the beach before the recording session. Some piccies at the beach.

Drop by his blog. He does write about this too. Hahaha.

Moving on, during the evening I made the arrangements of the equipments again. Made a revision on how the vocal miking positions should be. And, unfortunately when I was tuning my acoustic guitar during the setup, the last string broke.. and we had to use an Electric Guitar as a replacement! Then like the last recording session, I had to refine the reverb levels, equalization levels and volume of the instruments again.

The recording session lasted for 3 hours, there's like mistakes and stuff but yeh, this time we actually made more materials than the first attempt. Yes, there's times during the recording we're just steaming off things too. Recording Music and Mixing is not easy people! It takes several times to refine everything in order to blend it just right. Oh, during this attempt I suggested to add some percussion effects too like the tambourines, shakers, etc. I think it really adds to the music.. but gahhh.. I think there'll be a Recording Session Part 3 it seems, haha.

Okay okay here are the actual recording clips:

After Tonight, Second Attempt.


Be Back Soon.


Save Him, Second Attempt.


Why.



Other extra recording Clips:

Be Back Soon - (Retry Attempt 1 - Pickup messed up)
:: Okay, as he was strumming the guitar, he accidentally moved the pickup knob. Ahh!


Be Back Soon - (Retry Attempt 2 - Wrong chord)
:: Wrong chord for the verse, funny nevetheless.


Be Back Soon vs Save Him
:: I wasn't sure which to record first, Save Him's intro in .. Be Back Soon?


Cry Me A River - (Dry Run)
:: Dry run, was doing the mixer tuning process. Strum away, qam!


Little Fat Boy and the Letter "L"
:: This is just so wrong! The most funniest clip during the evening! Steaming off.


Save Him - (Dreaming)
:: I know si Moon is there watching you, but.. -_-?? You're doing a recording session!


Save Him - (Wrong Chord)
:: Keh, I was so frustrated on this one, not only he was doing a wrong chord, he was laughing away. But what the heck, hahahaha.



Do drop some comments in my shoutbox, alright? I guess it was a 'Weekend time spent well'. Wait, spent well on doing other things instead of my exams and assignments.
