It has been an amazing process watching the professional team do sound design while mixing an album.  The raw materials (recorded tracks) are shaped and sculpted while tone and panning and effects start to reveal the jewel that lies within.  The producer working with his engineering team guides the process while making sure that resources and time is maximized.  Truly an amazing and unique talent set.  Especially with the combined years of talent here at Skywalker Sound and producer, Ray Cooper!

And it is the first day of my blog here on Passion Star Music.  My first thoughts are to talk about my experiences recording Shining Bright in the studio.  I learned about "punch-ins" - if one wants to replace a word or section in a song without recording the whole song.. and I learned that this creates a different set of issues while solving others.. namely - tone matching by the singer (me).  I would say it's almost harder to match the tone than sing the song again!  

Stay tuned as I post more insights into this recording - including headphone mix, singing in another language and more!  

Take good care,  Lisa
