Witzend Recording Studio: In The Studio (Alan Dawson)

In The Studio (Alan Dawson) - Dandelion Dreams

Dandelion Dreams have been recording a demo of 6 songs. We started last Thursday and Friday the instruments and vocal were tracked live as if they were in a live gig situation to get the live vibe. We are getting together this week to over dub some keys and vocal due to illness on the second day, and mixing will start in a couple of weeks time.

(Update 21/10/10): We added the missing parts last night and recorded a new unplugged song (no drums) live in the studio.

(Update 8/11/10): Friday and Saturday recording, mixing and mastering was finished and the demo is now complete.
