Personalities

I just finished my second recording session with Joe Finnocio. He's an amaazing arranger-- does a great job with big band stuff.

We recorded last week and this week for his son's upcoming wedding. He's very particular and perfectionistic-- (though he says he's getting better!! :) ) It can be a challenge when I think something sounds just great, and the other person says, "hmmm," but we managed through it and really ended up with a terrific end product.

What I was so suprised about was how good the Peavey DPM3 SE sounds were. We used the Korg Trinity for strings, electric piano, percussion, and pads, and used the Peavey for brass, sax, and the bass too. I'm amazed at how good it came across.

Anyway, a long day, but I made 60 bucks, so not a total right-off.

Thanks Joe, if you ever read this, for asking me to do this project. I'm learning something, and enjoying myself. (Despite appearances.)
