It’s Complicated 02
First vocals on this track were laid down yesterday, and hence the first version of this song being posted. This is the first track post “Fire Fire Fire EP” to be worked on, and while we were looking through our “sketch” folder yesterday we realized we’ve got another four or so songs to work on [...]
Microphone test
We were not so happy with the vocal sound on some of the tracks, so we decided to do a microphone test. It has been difficult to get a sound that is both pleasant yet can cut through the mix. We chose the song Fire Fire Fire to try different mics on, partly because it [...]
Fire Fire Fire 09
Another recording of this song. Yeah, who knew? :)
We performed an advanced microphone test on these vocals. You can
All in all, I am much happier with this mix and the sound of the vocals now. Before I felt that they were muddled but now it cuts nicely through. What do you think?

If You Don’t Know Why 02
Last night I re-recorded the vocals for If You Don’t Know Why, after changing a couple of lines in the lyrics. Also I tried a couple of different approaches in singing styles, and today Anders made a remix of the song, with a couple of new sounds, like an acoustic guitar.
In my opinion, this song [...]
Underachievers 07
Last night I worked with the vocals on Underachivers, and re-recorded the entire vocal track. I think this is better, but I’ll need a few more listens before I’m sure.
Also, Anders had previously tweaked the mix and sounds, so there are some changes, especially after the second chorus, during the break and outtro.
I made a [...]
Fire Fire Fire 04
This is the first vocal take on Fire Fire Fire. I wrote the lyrics and recorded the vocals keeping a certain moment in my head, using the phrase Anders had already made up for the song (Fire Fire Fire). The mix is pretty rough and I have thrown in a snare which will most likely [...]
Studio Projects B1
This is the mic we most often use for the lead vocals. There are a lot of good large diaphragm condenser microphones for about $100, and I guess this is just one of them. But I like the design, and it got good reviews when Swedish music magazine Studio tested it. They sound a bit [...]
Underachivers 06
Måns had an idea to put a delay with lots of feedback on the last words in each phrase in the verse, so I tried that. Sounds kind of nice but maybe shouldn’t be on every phrase. Also I added a guitar melody to the middle 8. Not so sure about that one, I think [...]
Underachivers 05
So this is the result of last night’s session. We did lead and backing vocals, added some synths to the ending, and Måns cut out a piece of the vocals to make a radio-like reply. And a fade out!
