Ken On Earth - Part V - and other adventures
So, its been a hot minute since I've been able to resume the Man On Earth project. I got swamped for a bit with some big mix projects as well as that Legend-ary sample recreation, and a few other things, but i resumed things tonight.
Actually, today, overall was an incredibly productive and creative day. I had one of my go-to co-writers, We'll give her the code named "Candice", as well as one of my co-producer/writers, code named "CB", come out today and do some writing with me. Let me just say............ OH MY GOD! We wrote a HIT today. a F'ing hit and a half. woah.
And this is a different hit than the one i finished the other day and mentioned in my blog. And anyone who knows me knows how infrequently i use the word "Hit" and how high i set the bar when saying that. I must be in the zone right now, and it helps alot when you surround yourself with other incredibly talented people. Talented people who are secure in their own abilities can often vibe really well together, feed off of each others ideas, and create something far better than either of them could have done on their own. thats one reason i work with talented co-writers. I know the value of what i bring to the table and i acknowledge the value of what they bring to the table. Man, my team is fierce.
OK, back to Man On Earth. I cut lead vocals tonight for two songs, and really managed to successfully push lead singer, Steve Nathan, well beyond how well i've heard him sing in the past. I think the next vocal session is going to be even better, i feel it, and i think he senses it too. We're definitely onto something special with the Man On Earth project. OK, i have to go sleep for 3 hours before i get to wake up tomorrow and do it all again. I'd better get going.

PS. I'm pretty dissapointed that nobody has posted any comments on the microphone shootout. I really thought there were gonna be a ton of posts from students, musicians, and young engineers wanting to be a part of it and gain some knowledge. You all must be better recording engineers than i am. :-)

Hi Ken,
Wish I could comment on your last post but this yound lady knows nothing about that topic. None the less, I hope your projects are going great.
I would love if you could do a blog regarding analogue vs digital recording. I have always wanted to know the main difference or if one actually surpasses the other.
In any case, I am out of the big house with guys in white coats and stethoscopes. Enjoy your weekend.
