Instruments

We started recording the guitar and keys.

Keys were easy. Since Andy I both play them we decided to take turns on who gets to play what. We used a midi keyboard on my Roland Fantom G8. The sampled Piano sounds came from Alicia's Keys, an amazing VST with crystal clear recordings.

We recorded over 30 synth sounds from the Roland. We started working on a HipHop breakdown of one of our songs using sounds only from the Fantom. That whole song came straight from the G8. Not only are we learning about cubase and logic, but also the DAW onboard the Fantom.

We also recorded the guitar and put our acoustic panels to use. Our wonderful friend, Josh came in and took over. We mic'd the bass of the guitar about 6inches from the acoustic hole, as well as mic'd the neck of the guitar. We used a Shure KSM27 as well as Spark by Blue. Both very different micrphones. The shure needed phantom power and was much deeper, while the Spark brought in nice higher frequencies.

Thanks agin Josh
