MPA 408 Lab 04/12/10 Tracking Vocals cont.

Today's lab center a great deal around wrapping vocals (or at least my portion of them). Throughout the process of recording this album thus far, much of the music has been traditional. By traditional I mean it in the sense that there was something that I could reference it to or somewhere I could find a similar song to help me get started. However, this changed a great deal in conceptually approaching Josh's song. Perhaps it was the sped up tempo of the choruses or the extremely slowed ebo intros in the verses but, the exact reason for the complexity is beyond me. Non the less I took a little time out over the weekend to pen my ideas for the piece, after playing both the concepts for the group they chose the one that best fit the albums current fell. Then we dissipated and Josh and I sat down and delved further into the song. He explained in a very impassioned way about how he really wanted highlight the Ebo... and how i should sort of dance around it. Then we sat down and choped down the amount of actual words that I would be saying within the verses. After our sit down we began to track the lyrics in the same fashion that we did on Nicks Tune (punch Ins). Upon the listen back I started understand Josh's vission and appreciated the song more due to slight changes we enacted. Unfortunatly, Shannon couldn't make lab so we didn't get to hear the song in its entirity however, it is in strong contention for my favorite group song!!!
