Shadows - Recording the strings - Episode 3

Hi everyone,

Today, here are some samples of the strings recording session, this time all about violin with Pauline Denize!

Here are the 3 frustrating new samples for the songs of the album:


And here's my updated To do list. Tomorrow, we complete recording violin parts. I will have to record bass, drums and keyboards on 4 songs, and I still need the vocals for 6 songs...

See you next week !

Hi everyone!

Today, here are some samples of me recording the drums, bass and keyboards, on the song "Open your eyes".

I hope you'll like them.




This week, I started recording violin with Pauline Denize, and I h
ad to compose for a new project, so I didn't have a lot of time to work on my album, but here's the updated "to do" list.

See you next week !

Shadows - Recording the strings - Episode 2

Hello !

Today, I'm sharing with you my "to do" list for the album. You can see that all the recordings for the cello and the viola are now done. You can also see what remains to do !

Here are some other samples of the recordings of the strings.

Let's start with the viola for the song 'Crossroads". You can see some samples of the bass, drums and piano HERE.

Next, here are some samples of the song "No memories"

I put together the cello and viola on the song "Open your eyes"

The strings recordings done, I listen to them alone to hear how it works together, and with all the others instruments. Here's a sample on the song "Remembering children's games".

Next week, you'll have some other recording samples, mostly for drums, bass and piano.

Bye !

Shadows - Recording the strings - Episode 1

Hi !

the setup for recording viola

Louise Leverd

This week, I'm very busy, I'm starting to record the strings !
Monday and tuesday, I recorded the cello with Louise Leverd.

Today and friday, I record the viola with Jasmine Collet, and I'll start recording the violin sunday with Pauline Denize.

I'm very satisfied with the recordings, the songs are more and more "alive", it's really nice to hear real instruments at last !


I was used to hear the virtual instruments, and even if they are quite decent, after recording the cello, it changed the songs, but I could still hear the virtual instruments.

Today, after recording the viola, the only virtual instrument remaining (the violin) is really bad, I can't listen to it anymore, it sounds ridiculous...

I'm so happy that I want to share with some samples of these recordings.

It starts with the viola on "Breathe" (you can hear some samples of the drums, bass and keyboards HERE)

Then, here are some samples of the cello and the viola on "Chase the wind" (you can hear some samples of the drums, bass and keyboards HERE)

And at last, here are some samples of the cello and the viola on "I will light a candle" (you can hear some samples of the drums, bass HERE, but since that time, I had to transpose the key of the song, for vocal reasons...)

Next samples saturday !

Shadows - Recording the drums, bass and keyboards parts - episode 3

Hi everyone!
Today, I share with you some samples of the recordings for the album.
Here are some samples of the song called «I will light a candle», one ballad of the album. No keyboards here, I kept the ones I did in the demos, so I didn’t play it agin.
I hope you’ll like it (I know that in 6 seconds, you can’t really juge the song...)

Next samples thursday !
