A Quick Peek in the Audio Office
Posted on 08. Jan, 2010 by Ken McGuire in video
One of the objectives for 2010 in the office here, for the blog, is to show a little bit more about what goes on behind the scenes, walls, doors of Event Media.
In November last year we set about recording vocals for eight tracks from US-based band Pain and Progress. Some of the tracks, Low and New Obsession, can be heard on their MySpace.
The band’s lead singer, Jimmy Trigger (James Doran) is based here in Kilkenny and when not travelling to the US to record with the band, he’s here in the office to record the vocals on our own setup, some of which you’ll see in the video shot this morning (above). The vocals are mixed with audio delivered by Mark Hunt in North Carolina and returned back to the band for demoing. No CDs, no couriers, no post, strict online delivery of the tracks within minutes of them being finished. Some 5921km away.
This morning we’re linking back up with the band to run some more mixes, record a few additional vocals and send two more tracks off to the US for inclusion on their new demo CD.
Pain and Progress join the list of acts including Itchy Trigger Finger, Von Bizmark, South, The Lions Mane, Empire Social, Clive Barnes, Saving J, The River Valley Band and more that we’ve been working with since the expansion to Event Media last March.
The above video was shot on an iPhone 3G using the Qik app.
