Recording Session Plan
Week One
For recording piano on my track influenced by Persian Rugs, I'm thinking of using a D.I box which will be connected to a synth/electric piano thats available in the recording studio. Ill create a score for a session player (most likely Tega) as I'm confident in her ability to play chords and melodies. Ill set up a headset for her so she can hear the rest of the track and the midi version of the chords, just for reassurance. I'm choosing to use a D.I box so the sounds feeds straight into logic with no background noise or ambient sounds. The score I'll give her will be fairly short as the chords repeat it's self throughout the track. For the recording all I will need is a D.I box, (not specifying whether its stereo or not) a Male XLR to Jack lead, an Electric piano and a score. We will record in 141.
Week Two
For recording Bass on my track influenced by Persian Rugs, my idea at the moment is to give Jack a Liverpool bass then get him to play the bass that plays the melody. The set up will be a SM57 by the amp for the bass, which will be fed into the audio interface by using a jack to female XLR lead, I'm doing this because for this type of bass I would like their to be some type of ambience. I won't be giving Jack a score as he's practiced this piece before and is competent to play it. I'll set the track up on logic so he's able to listen to the midi version of the bass.
I have already recorded bass on my remix of Tupac do for love, but I would like to record another type of bass as the the first bass i recorded was a fretless bass, which I'm unsure if it suits the track, so my plan is to record it with a Liverpool bass, or another sub type bass, and feed it directly through a D.I box. As Jack has already played this bass-line I won't be supplying him with a score, but will let him listen to the midi version and the previously recorded audio version so he can listen back.
Week 4
I also plan to record the trumpet for my saxophone section on Tupac Do For Love. To record this I will set up Alex with a E606 microphone and connect using a female XLR to male XLR lead, I'm choosing a E606 as its a dynamic microphone meaning it can pick up sound in a specific direction which would be best for recording one instrument.
Week 5
For my remix of tupac do for love, I had Alex play the trumpet to cover the saxophone the end result is as follows below and the recording went as I planned. Although we didn't use a score, we were able to read the notes to Alex and he was able to play them to the metronome.
Week 6
For my Persian rugs remix I recorded the chords on the juno synth connecting it to a D.I box and straight into the DAW. I had Josh play the chords and told him the individual notes to play, we placed him right next to the floor box and set him up with some headphones so he would easily be able to hear himself.
