I went for my second studio session on Wednesday at the west suburban YMCA. I spent the majority of the three hour session recording the rhythm and lead guitar parts for the song "Coming Home Baby" by Ben Tucker. The session was productive, but we ran into some tough roadblocks along the way that taught me some new techniques about recording. The first roadblock was a buzzing noise the two microphones were picking up when I played guitar. The buzzing was caused by a little factor, the strings attached to the bottom of the guitar. We has to cut them off to take away the noise. I also had to adjust my body position because the mic was picking up the sound of clothing rubbing together. All these sounds were picked up by the mic, and we had to change the setup to get a better sound. I learned that while recording, you don't want any outside noise to be picked up because it greatly alters the sound you are trying to produce.
