If you&#8217;ve read Part I and Part II of Mixing Your Vocals, you&#8217;ll know that laying the musical foundation – a great mix on the instrumental tracks &#8211; will give you a &#8216;frame&#8217; for your vocal track.

		<description><![CDATA[OK, OK, it&#8217;s not THAT bad! Mixing is actually quite fun. No, honest&#8230;really. It IS! As I mention in Part I, you need to start with vocal tracks that are pristine, &#8216;dry&#8217; (no effects), and of the very best performance quality. Think of the mixing procedure as the Recipe, and you are the Chef. You [...]]]></description>

After weeks of vocal sessions, overdubs and do-over sessions, I finally let him know about 10 days ago that OK, I am FINALLY satisfied, somewhat, with my vocals and ready to mix the project. So like a good soldier, he began the mixing process [...]]]></description>

She has painted hundreds of them, refuses any payment, sends them to the families, and then just keeps going. What a tragedy that she has over 4,000 soldiers to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was a really fun day in the studio! I had decided that on one song in particular, an accordion would add a beautiful ambiance, a little bit of sparkle, to an already great arrangement that Gerry Grosz wrote for me. The song has a tango or rhumba feel to it, and I sing the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I really want to write about in this blog is studio techniques for singers. It&#8217;s just one aspect of the craft of being a good singer &#8211; that is, singing in tune while conveying the emotion or story of the lyrics. When you&#8217;re singing live, on stage, the moment is fleeting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I learned a really important lesson today about rejection. Even though I&#8217;ve been singing professionally for over 30 years (yes, I was a child when I started!), it always feels kind of crappy to be rejected, even when you&#8217;re rejected in a nice, professional way by a nice, professional person. I submitted one of the [...]]]></description>

And even though I&#8217;m a long time Bobby fanatic, I was just blown away again by his performance, and by the synchronicity between these three consumate artists. It was a wonderful evening of music. Orrin [...]]]></description>
