Engineer: Nick Breton

RECAP:

We had a great session today! X and Raury started working on a song idea they put together prior to coming in for the session today. We reviewed the session they brought in and I went to work stripping the I/O and getting it fit for the studio. After setting up the session routing the guys decided to start with piano. X hopped on the upright and started banging out a verse piano section. He played through three or four times before we felt we had enough information to comp. After getting the verse piano down he went in to cut a section for the hook. We kept one solid 16 bar take after he played it through four or five times.

After getting the piano in and arrangement sorted out Raury started recording vocals. He did his first verse very quickly, only took a few takes to get that out. While he was on the mic a few more ideas started to flow and we caught those and made sections out of them. When he was tapped out we went reviewed everything he recorded and set up the second verse for X.

X went in the booth and started recording his verse, after running about 10 takes we had a lot to work with and decided to comp. After reviewing the comp track we stripped away most of it and left it at two 8 bar sections.

After getting all the vocals in Carter Lang showed up to throw some bass in. He’s hands down one of my favorite musicians to work with. He always has great simple ideas and knows how to play with the music. We ran through several full takes to get ideas out then started building a full bass take in sections.
