Session Detail

I describe a recent series of sessions I produced and recorded in some detail. My recording approach is very old-school; I do not use a click track, nor any sampled instruments or loops. Everything is performed by real musicians playing real instruments, usually with as many players as possible in one room, in real time. It's almost all acoustic-based music, such as this example from an album project for singer-songwriter Corrie Lynn Green.

I use whatever technique or technology gives me the sound I want, so my sessions use a mixture of the old and new. For example, I record everything in DSD, a very high resolution digital format. All the audio goes through vacuum tube equipment. I use mostly ribbon microphones, or condenser mics that give me the sound I like.

This is not how a lot of contemporary music is made, and for those approaches, you will need to find a different resource. Regardless, I hope you will find this description useful. It may give you some new ideas to try.
