I got to work with a great musician friend of mine yesterday, Tom Work, a regional veteran, came in to record a Rick 12 track for one of the songs on this project.
Tom is a consummate pro, and we did four separate passes all the way through this song, where he slightly varied the performance on each take - voicings, tonal alterations using different pickups, phrasing.

Hello everyone I need advice on what could be the problem. When recording vocals they seem to get lower. Each take is lower then the one before. It just keeps decreasing. The wave form goes from normal to just a line. They are rap vocals by the way. If anyone could it would be much appreciated.

Soon I will be doing live band sessions for local bands in my erea.

Sometimes when I'm recording vocals it takes me quite a few takes, maybe 10-15, before I can get that one that really sounds good. Is this normal, or do I just suck? Or does it not matter as long as you can get to that really good one?

Hey guys, have a look/listen at these:

Do you think these are real Bonham outtakes? I'd say they sound like they were, but how would you get your hands on stuff like this? I mean these are old recordings!
