Input : Output


Over the past 2 months I have had the opportunity to work with some of the finest and most diverse young Music Producers, on the compilation album “Input : Output, London's freshest, up & coming Music Producers.

Gathered from various areas in London, 14 aspiring Singer – Songwriters, Musicians, MC's, DJ's and Music Producer got together from different musical backgrounds to produce this unique album.

We met up twice a week in London's Studio 13 and made use of the extensive range of equipment and Music Programs that were offered. Starting from Pro Tools 7.4, Logic Pro, Reason 4, Cubase 4 to the Micro Korg, MPC 500, Digitech Vocalist, R3 (watch the I/O video).

For my track “My Life” which is featured on the Album, I used various Plug-ins from Pro Tools, drum fills from Reason 4 and a vocal sample from Digitechs' Vocalist.

Digitechs' Vocalist Workstation is one of my favourite performance devices and perhaps the easiest to use. It is a four-voice vocal harmony effects processor designed for live performances and studio applications.

It also contains different programs which enabled me to change a single vocal input to up to a five-part harmony (saves you money for the backing singers). The programs vary from female vocals to male vocals, Pitch correction, backup vocals etc.

For My Life I chose to use the opera setting, which made my voice an octave higher and added a distinctive opera touch to it.

It was absolutely incredible to work with so many artists and a great experience for me.

The Album is now available on iTunes.
