Approximately three years ago Grupo Ilusion De Tierra Caliente recorded a CD at Tesco Productions, and they’re back working on their second release. Fourteen songs have been recorded by the six guys which include two keyboardists, key percussion, acoustic guitar, bass, drums/electric percussion and two of the guys double up as vocalists. Recording another Hispanic group is always enjoyable and these guys are great to have in the studio.
Tesco Productions put the newly acquired mic pre-amps to use for this session. Overall we’re pleased with the results and the drummer (and the engineer-me) are particularly liking the “new” sound for the kick and snare drum tracks. We utilized an HHB multi-tube pre for those two mics. The main vocal was processed through a Presonus channel strip with the harmony vocal on another Presonus unit. The keyboards, bass and acoustic guitar also found new paths through our additional pre-amps we’ve added.
We’re getting everyone’s schedules together so we can start on the mixing process, and looking forward to hearing it completed. You can see more pics of Grupo Ilusion De Tierra Caliente in our Photo Gallery. And by the way, yes the frogs danced. “Gracias!”
