Helen Darling Publishing Demo Session

by Gary Powell, Producer 

Helen Darling writer of “Bring on the Rain” (performed by Jo Dee Messina) is in the studio today recording a publishing demo for her new song, “Mistake” co-written with Gary Burr. Helen and I have been working together in the studio since 1985! The session was recorded in Digital Performer 4.5 using GigaStudio3 with Larry Seyer’s Acoustic Bass Library. Larry is also playing the guitar, mandolin and slide guitar parts in person. Larry and I have been working together in the studio since 1978! The guitars are being cut with a stereo pair (AT4033) through Mark McQuilken’s RNP
(Really Nice Preamp).

This combination of mic and pre makes for a beautifully crisp guitar sound – no EQ needed. These are my old and good friends to say the least. And yes, Helen, we know you are 1.5 versions younger than Larry and me! Nice day in the studio.
