if you’ve ever recorded with a band or even with a solo artist then you probably know all about how hard it is to capture that one magical performance. sometimes it can take days to get that one best take which can be a bit painful especially when you’re under time constraints or just trying to stay under budget. you can be in the most expensive recording studio with the best equipment money can buy but if the vibe isn’t just right, that stellar performance may never happen. sometimes it’s as simple as the recording room being a bit too sterile looking to keep the creative juices going. that’s why i make it a point to bring along some vibe enhancers to a recording session just in case the recording room just looks too drab. you know, just adding a couple of pieces of decoration can change the whole look and feel of a room. i recently bought some neat items off of coolstuffexpress.com that i’m planning on using during my next recording session. i’ve got a couple of these Blue Groovy Wavy Lava Motion lamps that truly transforms a room especially with the room lights down low. I also got these two big 12″ Lumin Glass Rainbow Plasma Disks that fire off blue, green and red lights around a flat planel disk display in time with the music. it’s fantastic to look at. there’s also this 16″ Blue Plasma Phosphor Tesla Light Lamp that i can bring along for those larger facilities where i need to decorate more space. from my experience, I found that decorating a sterile recording environment enhances a musician’s performance, time and time again. try it the next time you’re at a recording session. and be sure you order some of those neat decorations from coolstuffexpress.com before you do.
