Birthdays and Great Music

Had a great week this past week celebrating my birthday and working on some great upcoming music.

Vocals were tracked for Courtney Conerly's debut album.  What a voice!  We did a mic shootout with a lot of great mics (Sony C800g, Bock 507, AKG C12, Neumann m149) and ended up choosing the Lawson 251, a Telefunken clone.  We tracked through a BAE 1084 pre amp into a Retro 176 compressor.  The project is sounding great, and we're getting close to finishing it up.
