Recording an Album (Day 1)

All of the earning from this post and some future ones will be donated for recording of this album. I hate powering down so i will most probably just buy out hive earned this way.

If you are following me for some time you for sure seen some posts and videos named Vlasto a Sacharíny. Maybe even heard some of their music. So they finally decided to make an album. Me, i never played an instrument (flute and metallophone for like 3 songs in elementary school does not count :) ), so i was there to take some photos and videos. And some fun weekend in Novi Sad is always a welcome one.

So day one started around 9AM. Everybody that knows me, knows that i am not a person for 9AM (while writing this it is 5AM, i should go to bed). So a lot of coffee was involved. We were in the studio at 11AM.

First day it was a bit crowded. The idea was to record the drums for all of the songs. Everyone else was there to play as a support.

It is a weird feeling when you are standing there and all you can hear is keyboard clicking and just the drums.

Some photography technical details. The light was well what it was :) So the idea was go as low on shutter speed and aperture as you can and then as high as you have to on ISO. On 35mm lens i feel comfortable with 1/50 Shutter speed and was lucky that ISO 3200 looks good with small amount of grain/noise.

Also didn't want to go slower than 1/50 shutter speed as i was not sure about the motion blur.

From my understanding, recording drums is the hardest part. And they have to be perfect as everyone else is recording while listening to them.

Lucky enough the drummer is a drum machine / metronome. :)

Change of lenses. I like Canon 85mm for portraits. Often it is not that great for inside shots as it needs a bit more room but here it worked out ok. Changing the shutter speed to 1/100 to be sure i don't have any blur from my hands shaking.

Listening and analyzing few of the recorded drums. 99% of it was recorded a full song one take and 6 minutes song without a mistake is hard.

Resting his eyes after 8 hours in the studio :)

First day was finished at around 9PM. Back to the apartment for some beers and back tomorrow.
