Phase 2 of the record

I'm in Bombay now with one of my co-producers (Sidhant Mathur). We originally set out to mix the album and re-record piano parts for all the songs on a grand piano and re-work and record string arrangements which will be composed and arranged by an awesome producer named Andrew T. Mackay. But as we spent some time in the studio and started to record piano ... We heard the difference in the sound quality. This actually made us extremely satisfied as well as disappointed, because the drum sound didn't seem all that hot after hearing what it could have sounded like .... So we took a call and decided to re-record drums for all the songs as well and also re-record rhythm acoustic guitars sitting in the HUGE hall with top class mics. I know that means pushing the budget , but at the end of the day, it is going to be worth it. I'm so happy about the direction of this album ... It's really headed in the right direction and is gonna end up sounding awesome. It's gonna be something I'm going to be proud of my whole life. In one session at Yash Raj Studio , Andrew changed the face of this album. I'm loving the experience in Bombay so far. Can't wait for the mixing to start.

Hope you guys will like the album when it's out

Cheers

Rohan
