The process of composition has been the hardest with this track so far as not knowing whether to start with samples or melodies was an issue.
A lot of samples have been acquired and a lot of melodies have been made it is however just getting a track that gels thew two together well.

Georgia on my mind
Today was the day setup for recording the Jazz trio, however this did not go to plan as the pianist could not make it however I was told when the two other band members arrived. This was an annoyance, however it was worked with and the bass was managed to be recorded without any drama. During the recording the Pianist was contacted and asked to make another date, this was achieved and due to the bass and tempo now being down the drummer was organised to play over the track.

First recording session of Michael Lynch (Acoustic Artist)
The inital recording was Michael Lynch an acoustic artist who sang and played guitar. For this recording the plan was to record the track live, with no click track as not only would it have been difficult as he performed it with a lot of tempo changes but they were not written down and were just as and when he felt the track needed them.
Recording the track live for this made the most sense and the artists was proficient enough that few if any mistakes were made.
The recording of the track brought about the most problems as the pre amp, showed signal from the four mics that had been set up but the AVID Interface was only showing two channels of signal, no help was available at the time so the decision was taken to record with just two microphones, which from my perspective I didn't think would give much room for mixing. However the end set up that was used was a Rode NT3 and an AKG for the vocals.
The Rode was facing the 12th fret and the AKG was positioned above, in line with the mouth. The end result was good, with good frequency response from the Rode NT3 and a crisp but warm recording of the guitar, with the AKG picking up bleed from the guitar, this will however mix in upon the post production stage.
