step 3
It´s been a week since our busy recording period and it´s time to start the third step of the process. This blog started of in the middle of step 2, i.e: the actual recording period. I would like to call step 1 the "preproduction period". The thing is that most of the songs that we recorded ( well, in fact all of them) has already been recorded during the autumn ´06 or winter 07:, i.e Step 1. A few of them were recorded with the intention to be tracks entirely ready for the album. But due to us being totally unable to hear the songs as a third person, we needed to do new versions of every single song :-). It´s so hard to kill your darlings you know... Anyway, the preproductions are really crucial, because they save you loads and loads of time once you hit the studio for real.

Step 3 is the loooong period when you decide together if the recorded songs are "the right versions?" and once that is done you get to this list:
Lyrics, l-e-a-d v-o-c-a-l-s (that´ll take time), overdubs, string arrangements, "choir-arrangements", additional recordings of: strings, pump organs, percussion, grand piano and organ, soundeffects, instruments that we don't even know yet and blablabla...

Anyway, what we're facing is a massive and interesting period of additional recordings at "studio Kamélen". YES!!!
We might head over to England to record some vocals as well, but we´ll start at the cosy Kamélen.
We´ll Keep you posted during the third step as often as we can!
Take care!
