Good vibes all around

JayKid and the Space Pirates are with us again today. The guys have brought a lot of gear with them for the session including a couple of synths, a voice box, a PC computer hooked up to a beamer and plenty of other fancy gadgetry. So understandably the studio is very crowded this afternoon, not only with all the band members but all the gear as well.

The guys are using reason on the PC, which they control with an external Behringer controller. The beamer has been connected to the computer and is being beamed at the wall in the control room. We have taken the output of the PC and hooked it up to Logic on the control room computer and record directly from there. The guys really seem to be having fun with what they’re doing and the good vibes in the studio are quite contagious!

Next up is recording some synths. Bouke, one of the Space Pirates, sings ‘We like girls who like it 69′ through the vocoder on his Korg R3 synthesizer, which sounds pretty damn cool. Add some funky synth loops on top of the bouncing beat and the studio sounds like one tight party!

JayKid and the Space Pirates will be here again next weekend, so stay tuned for more goodness!

On a side note, our engineer Bart has gone missing. Since learning there was a Playboy photoshoot on the floor above us, he has mysteriously disappeared! Anyone who has any information on Bart’s whereabouts is kindly asked to contact one of the SAE Studio coordinators.
