Chapel Session with Richard Watson

Our most recent session in the chapel, was with Richard Watson. He plays the piano, and sings his own songs.
However, instead of the students doing the recording and setting up of the session, we were told to watch what the media team was doing, so that we can see how it's done and learn from it, so that we as a team can do the same job next time.
The first song that the team recorded was called I know precisely, while recording this track, several takes were needed in order to make the performance sound as professional and as good as possible. Also for the artist to be satisfied with the quality of the performance. The media team was in constant contact with Richard throughout his session, and monitoring every piece of equipment, from video to audio and recording.
The next song was called I'll do it tomorrow, this song had to had 8 takes, until Richard and the media team were satisfied with the performance.

The last song that we watched the media team record, was called Straight To Video, this was the last song that we saw the media team work on.
It was a good session, as it gave me a chance to see how the media team records a session with an artist, and what's involved within the process. This gave me and the rest of the students at taste of what we'll have to do on the next session.
