Recorded and produced a demo album for local Jazz band

April 2008

Chris recently recorded and produced a three track demo album in his home studio for a local Jazz band. They requested a very live sounding recording, reminiscent of the old 60′s and 70′s smoky basement bar jazz sets. The recordings were all tracked in his living room using SM57, SM58, 414 and D112 microphones and a DI box all recorded through a Fireface 800 onto a mac running Logic Pro. These recordings were then mixed and mastered using a variety of analogue modeling plug-ins and convolution reverb. The stand out elements of these tracks are the guitar and trumpet sounds, as well as the overall live atmosphere created. Please have a listen below:
