While working on an album of song recordings, Stan Stewart is reminded about the vulnerability of singing. Are vocals the toughest tracking?

Got my new tune Ropes and Chains up tonight. 3 weeks of toiling over this one. Very emotional and technically challenging. It is what it is. Just my vocal, Takamine EF407 acoustic and Fender p-bass. Vocal mic was Apex 550 FET large diaphragm condenser. https://youtu.be/zgLh6wltQPA #guitar #recording #vocals #music #gearsquad #songwriting
Got my new blues tune up. Guitars are Telecaster (L) and Danelectro 59M through the EHX B9 organ pedal (R). Bass is Fender p-bass. Harp is Hohner Special 20 B flat. I’m capo’d at the first fret on guitars, and through Keeley compressor. Harp and Tele are both through MXR Timmy. Drums are MT Power Drum kit sampler. I also tracked a Latin percussion shaker. Mics are Apex 550 for vocals and an Apex 327 for harp. Inspiration for the song came from Dylan’s version of Axe and the Wind. #music #blues #guitar #bass #recording #war #songwriting #gearsquad https://youtu.be/72GYFodn9M0

In the interests of remaining off of instagram (and still getting work hopefully) I’ve made an ad for myself. I know this is the wrong audience because like half of y’all are audio engineers too but I had fun making this so here it is #recording #mixing #getfedihired

Got my retro rock tune up tonight. Two chords with capo on the 5th fret. Em and A fingering shapes. Basically I just recorded a bunch of jam tracks, wrote some lyrics and pieced it into a song. The lyrics are about my sweetie Wendy. Been together 39 years now. The song is my Valentine’s Day gift for her. The pic is our old ‘69 VW bus on the way back from long beach on the west coast in the 1980’s. Good times. #music #songwriting #recording #gearsquad #guitar https://youtu.be/KgMphVUexN8
