Benjamin Session #4 - Feel The Fabric
I went in for my final session at Benjamin last weekend. I recorded a track entitled “Feel The Fabric” which concluded the recording of my upcoming “Slow Motion Clarity” EP.
This song has less guitar and is more synth-driven. It’s got a straight instrumental hip-hop inspired beat and some choir samples. Opposed to the other tracks I’ve done with Jacob until now, I started writing this song in October last year, not at the end of 2009 like the rest. I think you can hear it.
Anyway, like usual, we started off by prepping the separate tracks and focused on going through all the programmed instruments/parts first, replacing patches and deciding on sounds. We decided to run my bass synth through one of Jacob’s new toys, an Oto Biscuit processor. It added a nice texture to the sound.
We then also ran this synth through a Langevin Mini Massive hardware EQ for beautiful clarity and roundness. We did the same with my beat and sorted out the two lead synths as well.
Once the electronic side of things were done, I quickly recorded the minor couple of electric guitar parts that the song needed. We notch EQ’d the guitars, sorted their delay and reverb and then finished the rough mix off.
We’re in the process of finalising the mixes of all the songs for the new EP, before I send them off for mastering. I can’t wait to share some more new music with you guys.
