After a break for the end of year celebrations, the course of the project resumes with in particular the continuation of the improvement of the comfort and the acoustics of the studio and the purchase of a new pair of monitors in addition to the existing ones, a mixing console, a guitar amp, cables, and so on…
Margot and Bruno re-listen to all the voice tracks in order to clean them of small parasitic noises, sibilances and other pops.
Margot and Bruno re-listen to all the acoustic guitar tracks in order to clean them up. At the same time, Bruno prepares the studio for mixing: analysis and treatment of acoustics, manufacture of custom-made sound absorbing panels, bass traps, and so on…
As part of our partnership, Cuir & Sellerie made us superb pads in ultra-high density foam dressed in black leatherette and personalised them with an embroidery of Bruno Arts' African mask.
Bruno works on sounds to enrich the titles and put a special touch to them in order to give them their personality.
It still works just as much. Bruno works on the arrangements (brass, strings, choirs, etc.) and prepares the mix upstream, in order to define the direction he wants for each title.
At this beginning of August, a little break under the scorching sun to recharge the batteries before continuing with the recordings and other musical preparations.
The vocal recording sessions are over. Margot and Bruno will now devote themselves to the preparations for the recording sessions of the various instruments that are part of the arrangements. After a final check of the scores, they will organise and coach the many musicians who will appear as guests on the album.
Margot and Bruno carry out the last vocal recording sessions.
