// WE'RE BACK! //





Hope you had a good break......Back in the studio in Gothenburg.

This afternoon Joey finished his first vocal. On the track with the working title "eden".......... it's going to be a killer.......

Apart from that we have been trying out different microphones compressors and pre-amps and setting up Mic's keyboards in the control room.

The pictures show the final setup for Joey's vocal today.

1. Microphone, MicOne (Tobias own built mic)
2. Pre-amp, StripOne (Tobias own built pre-amp)
3. Compressor, Universal Audio 1176 (the absolute classic rock compressor)
4. Recording console, The fabulous Euphonics System 5

Other michrophones we tested, Neumann U47 and Sony C800.

....later

Tobias should have named his microphone MicTwo, cause MicOne is already there. It's Michaeli :-)

Cool looking equipment!
I know absolutely nothing about the technical stuff but I am sure the best-fit gears & gadgets are picked for the new album!! :)
Though at the end of the day it's the talent and heart & soul of you guys that set Europe apart from the others...& make your music immortal... :)

Eden...what an intriguing word for a song title...
I wonder from which angle Joey will write the lyrics....
Genesis of human, or the sins of mankind (eating the forbidden fruit).....good or evil...or the struggling between both.. :) .. or a love story? Really look forward to learning more.....

Great to have you back!!! Work hard & play hard guys!!! :)

At last! Wow and HI! You are like a narcotic! ;-)
I had a good winter break. Your music was with me for my skitouring trips all the time. I hope that all of us had a good Christmas time.
Hmmm : the working title “Eden”…Then I ‘m singing ;” I’ve been waiting for the angels to knock on my door. I’ve been hopin’ that everything could be like before….”lalalalalalalaaa ;-)

We are so glad of your come back in the studio! ;-) Thanks for a good news.

Buon 2009 ragazzi...........!!!!!!! Joey ti chiedo un favore se puoi in questo album cantare su tonalità più alte!!!! So che la tua è solo una scelta quella di cantare su tonalità più basse ma rivoglio il grande Joey con tonalità più alte graffianti e accattivanti...!!!! Così la gente la smette di dire che Joey Tempest nn ha più la voce di prima.....!!!!! Grande Joey x me sei il migliore il numero uno...!!!!!!!!!

Hi, my dear:
Happy to see you again in this 2009. Joey: it's great to listen to your voice so strong after having so many celebrating days(I can hardly sing low tones), congratulations. I'm enjoying summertime here in Chile (I can feel your envy of me)and great holidays, I'll be in touch everyday.
Kisses and hugs.

Guys, this album is going to be awesome. The short sample on the "latest video" yet sounds great. Thanks for putting this up for us. Please, keep updating the blog, as it gives us all glimpses of how the albums we love come to exist.
Rock on!

Jenny said...

Great to see you back again, good to hear Joey can scream some anger out again =)

Not that Im a technerd, but translating the interview about the SFTD-recordings, I think a Neumann-mic was used then too. Just a reflection that stuck in my mind.

Good luck Joey tomorrow, Ill watch and cheer you!

All the best to the others, present or unpresent in the studio.
