1 item, Sony CD-R 700MB, Data CD (any content on recordable CD-R)Note: Hi Dom,
I've done some roughs for the tiv vocals. I'll bring them in tomorrow. Following is a track list just so we have one as a soft copy.
Tracks are:
01 Shayne – Connor – Shayne (final take that J&G liked – breathing removed
02 Shayne (take 1)
03 Shayne (take 2)
04 Shayne (take 4 – J&G liked this one)
05 Connor (take 1)
06 Connor (take 3)
07 Conor (take 5)
08 Connor take 6 – J&G liked this one)
09 Swan silver (take 1)
10 Swan silver (take 2)
11 Swan silver (take 3)
12 Swan silver (take 4)
Anything can be edited with anything if J&G decide they like one bit of one and another bit of something else. They just have to give me track numbers and where the new bit will go. Also, all breathing can be silenced as I have done in track 1, so they shouldn't worry about that.
You're the best,
Ad
