Creating our session file on Protools we left ourself room for expanding the project if time and inclination permits. Here is a the video we will be replacing for this project.

We decided as a team to book studio time every Saturday for the next few weeks to get this project completed. Adam, Shay and I really work quite well together our styles of communication are very complimentary and we can come to a good decision fast with a minimum of fuss. For more information on our schedule you can view out timeline here.

During this session Shay and Adam recorded a whole lot of click and switch noises in the studio using a Rode NT2-A microphone. These sounds will be the foundation of the click noises for the switches and dials in the clip. The boys also created a feedback loop through the desk to create the hum of the amplifiers powering up in the clip.

Check out Adam's post for a more in depth look at the process. Here's Shay's take on the session also.
