First recording session completed
On Saturday, PRO recorded through a long and successful day at Canterbury Music (owner Jeremy Darby). What a great atmosphere in which to work! It was my first experience working with David Travers-Smith (engineer) and he was a delight to work with. Quinsin Nachoff, one of our tenor players had recommended David and his recommendation was bang on. David is fast and good at what he does. If you need to hear playback from a certain point he has an uncanny knack of being able to find it in seconds. I was really impressed with his work.
The music still has to be mixed and mastered, and I look forward to completing this first project. The cd which results will function as a demo and will work for us in finding more work and even more important, finding funding to complete the project.
The band was awesome! I had written and rewritten a new piece which they had seen at one rehearsal so it took a lot of time to get together, but they did a great and patient job of working through the piece with me and a second take was all that was needed, aside from a few glitches in following the road map the first time through.
I can’t say enough good things about all the regulars and subs who worked so hard and, again, patiently through the day.
More later
