Executive Producer
As a special thank you for your generosity, major supporters can choose to attend Shaking Through recording sessions and video shoots as "Special Producers" and "Executive Producers" (or their chosen designees).
The beginning of the recording process is a 4 - 5 hour window in which we record basic drums, bass and other foundational elements of the song we are recording.
This is the second half of the recording day, a 5 - 6 hour window in which all other elements including vocals, leads, and any other remaining finishing touches are recorded.
On day two, mixing is the 4 - 5 hour process where all tracks recorded the day before are processed and leveled for the final mix that the public will hear.
Also on day two, while mixing takes place in the studio, we set up a second location (sometimes off-site) to interview the musicians, producers and engineers about the artist, their song and their Shaking Through experience.
All recording sessions take place at Miner Street Recordings, the inspiring recording studio in Philadelphia where Shaking Through is produced. This incredible experience will change the way you listen to all music.
