You have grown
Left behind
All the world
Has passed you by
You have found
A way to climb
When this world
Has sold you short.
I Know You’re Not Alone
I Know You’re Not Alone
In the moments
That I have lost
I have paid
But I got across
I have lost
And now I’m here
But it was You,
Who borne the cost.
I Know You’re Not Alone
I Know You’re Not Alone
I have found my way to talk
I have found my way to see
What you hear
And what you see
Isn’t always what it seems
I Know You’re Not Alone
I Know You’re Not Alone
You have grown
Left behind
All the world
Has passed you by
You have found
A way to climb
When this world
Has sold you short
I Know You’re Not Alone
I Know You’re Not Alone
I Know You’re Not Alone
I Know You’re Not Alone

Thanks for the comment :)
No, didn't use any DI unit for recording electric guitars on track 3 (Soul Collection). The guitarist came with his red Fender guitar and a huge Fender tube amp which took about 30mins to warm up. It was one of the kickass amp I've ever seen. We used Neumann microphones for recording the amp and we did both close and far micing plugged into Apogee's A/D converter. And than tone adjustment on the amp and guitar to get the desired sound. For bass, we didn't have any bass amp so we directly plugged it into Apogee's in and hit record, furthur processing I did in Logic Pro 8 using Logic's own Bass Amp plugin. Drums were pre recorded, I did a little bit tone adjustment and pitch shifting during mixing.
I mix it on Logic Pro 8 and master it on WaveLab 5. I didn't push it to the limits as modern commercial records because it was for Radio and for an RnB/Pop artist who have never done anything solid ROCK before. But it sounds loud as most pop rock albums, I did the comparision.
Thanks,
Kashif
Nice, you are always welcome my friend ! Have you checked the latest entry on my page? It is your kindda thing man, ROCK ! I did the guitar recording, mixing and mastering. It is a radio commercial of a ladies shoe collection signed by Hadiqa Kiani called "Soul Collections", but I've got nothing to do with this thing, I wanted to make it sound good.
Have a listen and reply :)
Cheers,
Kashif
