Recording with Melodious Vibes

Last night I had a last minute recording session with Melodious Vibes. From what I can tell, it will probably be the last (for now, hehe). I never really realized it until last night how much I enjoyed being in a recording setting. In my case, I really enjoy the creative process and the focus one has to have in order to lay down a number of tracks. Moreover, in-between recording, I can just let loose and joke around which helps relieve any tension there could be in the room. Although, I tend to be pretty light-hearted when I'm playing music. It's funny, but almost every time I find myself behind a microphone in a studio, I feel really overly comfortable. Granted, I think I have come to the point where I can balance work-time and fun-time quite reasonably. Years ago, there have been a good number of times where I could go off on major humor-filled tangents that would suck up recording time; now a days, I'm much more focused. Don't get me wrong, I probably still have as much fun as I had years ago; it's just different when you mature.

I thought I'd also take the time to thank Mags and her team on helping us get this put together. As you can tell, I had fun coming into the studio and meeting you and your recording team. It's been a long time coming for Melodius Vibes to get together in a studio recording setting. I just hope the tracks we laid down are good enough for you and your team to play around with in post.

Have fun.
