3rd week - recording 50's track

This week on my silver arts award my next task was to record myself playing the organ in a band doing a cover of Elvis hound dog.  they would have usually scratched their music to records in the 50s however we were limited to what equipment we had so we used tape this was not easy as we had to arrange the studio and mic's to certain positions to get the right levels eventually we managed to get the levels done which took at least 40 min's to get the right sound quality yet again technology strikes  as we were only able to use at least two or three mic's  a 50s studio didn't have a lot of mics that were available for usage so we did the best of what we had.  learning from this experience helped me to clearly understand what the 50s were really like. it was a fun and enjoyable and i would a recommend trying the 50s if your practicing music it was a laugh! And i don't think i could have done it with out the good old help from my mentor who played the drums and the studio owner who played the bass so thumbs up to yer both! we eventually managed over the course of two hours to complete the piece of music however one thing still remains the vocals im hoping they'll go well also im thinking of maybe doing some backing vocals as well as some clicks and claps. i think things went according to plan i had had expected that me and the rest of the team would have to do some sort studio arrangement with the mics and other things such as studio sound barriers and stands, amps anything a 50s sound studio would have needed.  the day was very busy the the vibe was great there was ideas going around left right and center but we focused on the main target ahead the completion of the music for the song. it took at least three takes because some of us weren't ether ready or we got out of time or just played some wrong notes but we decided on a take and eventually we completed it.
