I’m going mập say many people don’t understand but I’m a CD người yêu thích. The sound’s not so sánh warm, but I lượt thích laying xuống dốc in my bed và listening bự music & don’t have mập get up. Of course, you can bởi that with your MP3 player. A good Brazilian record, I need lớn have also on CD because the copies suck. Once you buy some Brazilian records, they’re all scratches & they’re very expensive. I lượt thích them on CDs, sounds clear & you get all the details & I lượt thích that. For instance, I just released an bức ảnh & so sánh far it’s just released on CD because I want people béo listen Khủng it. I don’t want … If it’s on double vinyl I know what’s going Khủng happen, it’s lượt thích a double EP.

I was just curious on the vocal harmonies và stuff lượt thích that. How many layers of harmony is that ?
Lars Bartkuhn
I haven’t counted but I think it’s many. I think, yeah, we vì a lot of stuff. It’s actually, she’s such a good singer, if you have a bad singer you can’t bởi vì so sánh much layers because then you get out of tune. With her you can vì a lot of doubling. Like, what’s the địa cầu ? Adding the same, just the same voice end và end lớn make this spread effect. It can bởi unlimited with her, she’s a really good singer. With other singers you can’t bởi it. If I had phệ vì it I couldn’t bởi vì it because it would sound lượt thích two different notes at the same phút giây. It was done fast, a day, three hours for the vocals & three hours for the rest, that’s it. It was a quick thing .
audience thành viên
Can I ask you something else, when you were layering, did you put the music lao dốc first & the vocals came in second or the vocals first ?
Lars Bartkuhn
They had a basic sketch. All they had was a bassline và the chorus và then I have two weeks giây phút, I say, “ Come in two or three weeks, ” & I’ll prepare something và that’s it. They sing on top of it và the instruments play a little bit on top. That’s it. We work together, on some parts I say, “ You should bởi some … ” The singer didn’t lượt thích some parts of the bass player so sánh we worked together .
