Track 2: ‘Tell me now’, Kym Brown Recorded and
mastered at Cybersound Studio’s 2004 This
track is taken from her album ‘Almost Happy’ recorded by me and mixed by Kym

in my opinion one of her better tracks. |
|
Track 3: ‘Thanks for Nothing’, Jack’s Creation Recorded at
Cybersound Studio’s 2004 A
fairly typical recording session, consisting of one days recording and one
days mixing and mastering. This particular session saw four tracks produced. |
Track 4: ‘ Recorded Live

‘off the cuff’ live recording of one of the regular ten piece big band sets. |
|
Track 5: ‘Night
of the Living Inbreds’, the Inbreds, taken from the album ‘Groove
Drenched Warfare’ Recorded and
mixed at Cybersound, 2005 The
band has 3 guitars and all cabs were heavily mic’d up in a number of ways
until the producer was happy with the sound. Total recording time was approx
2 weeks, and while being recorded my myself, mixed by the producer and
myself, was mastered elsewhere. Very heavy, very thick and very loud! I
have also toured with this band. |
Track 6: ‘Chi
Mai’, performed by Chris Watkins, accompanied by the Carnival Freedom
Orchestra Recorded Live

have 10 days to record and mix one track to appear on the CD. Sgt. Danko was
set up, recorded and mixed in 5 hours. One of the more unusual tracks on the
CD, and all musicians were under 16 when recorded. We even had time to
experiment with different stereo effects and reverse sung lyrics. |

Track 11: ‘Rock and
Roll Section’ Recorded Live
on the Carnival Glory, 2006 Performed
By Ed Chen, part of ‘Rock down Broadway’ on the Carnival Glory. Tracked music

warranted the use of a tracked lead guitar |
Track 12: ‘Summertime’ performed by Sinead
Blanchfield, accompanied by the Carnival Freedom Orchestra Recorded
Live on the Carnival Freedom, 2007 One
off Fly-on operatic act. Slightly
spoiled by the guitarist’s error in the middle of the sax solo, however, the
rest of the recording came out fairly well. |
