Split Studio Session 1 - Sound test

Team members present: Mike, Lee and Bob

What was achieved

We wanted to test the sound of Mike's guitar when connected to Cubase using Cubase's delay, flanging and reverb effects.

We found that a delay of 1/8D gave mike the effect he wanted to produce a very interesting backing rhythm.

We tested that the Zoom G2 guitar effects pedal also produced the sound we required when connected to Cubase via a DI box.

The above tests have given us confidence that we will not need to bring guitar amps to our remix recording sessions.

We discussed several musical ideas for the 'Children' remix. It will be a metal track with a dance edge.

We intend to book out of hours studio time to enable us get ahead with our remixes and to gauge our progress.

Next Steps

Mike and Lee to work on the musical arrangement for 'Children' and to also plan the musical structure of the song. We aim to record some rhythm and lead guitar tracks at the next studio session.
