Keyboards and sopranos

Two days ago, Kristian and I started recording keyboards. It wasn't our lucky day though. First, we had to travel more than an hour to borrow a vintage Whurlizer piano and a good tube guitar amp. When we finally had everything hooked up and started to play, we realized the Whurlizer had some problem with the line signal and had a key that was totally out of pitch. At first we tried to fix the problems, but we gave up. Then we decided to start recording Rhodes piano instead. But then the amp had some kind of buzz-sound every time we played a low A-note... Then we tried recording through a bass amp and also with a line signal, but the sound was way to clean. Eventually we solved the problem by recording with the guitar amp at a lower volume. But both Kristian and I were feeling a bit sick, so we did two songs and then gave up. All days can't be successful. We'll try some other day, with an other Whurlizer.

Now, most of the altos and tenors have recorded all the songs. It sounds amazing. Today we'll start recording the sopranos. We have three whole days in the studio, and I hope we'll make it. But the sopranos have some hard work ahead. They have the highest, but also the most important notes to sing. But I'm not worried, they are great.

Blessings
