Allie Fox – album editing

On Friday Allie was back in the studio for the continuing editing stage of the album. We were working on the excellent ‘Mystery Of Life And Death’, a classical style track based on Allie’s acoustic guitar, Ron Shaw’s cello and Rod Clements slide guitar. The session was fairly intense as we waded through lots of takes by Rod and Ron and reducing them down to 2 basic finished parts. As it’s quite a long complicated track this wasn’t an easy job and keeping a patient attitude to the editing was really important. After 4 hours we still hadn’t fully completed the edits so we decided to call it a day and come back to it fresh next Monday. Monday 28th is also Allie’s birthday so that should be a fun session!

On the last track we edited I decided to add a one note organ to the end of the song. After doing that I realised I was on a track with the amazing Rod Clements from Lindisfarne. Now I can add Rod to the superstar artists I have played with
