Nashville Trax Musicians Getting Busy! Jenee on “The Voice”, William out with Montgomery Gentry, more!
Posted: May 8, 2014 Filed under: Music Industry News, Nashville Session Musicians, Studio News | Tags: David Northrup Oak Ridge Boys, Drummer William Ellis Montgommery Gentry, Duncan Mullins Steve Wariner, Jenee Fleenor Blake Shelton The Voice Leave a commentSummer is touring season with lots of music happening outdoors so every year about this time most Nashville musicians see an increase in work. But if anyone doubts the economy is starting to improve, consider that music is not exactly a necessity and these professional players are highly paid, yet everyone who works for us seems to be just slammed:
Jenee Fleenor, fiddle player for Blake Shelton is in L.A. to do work for The Voice. Duncan Mullins is out with Steve Wariner, David Northrup is touring with The Oak Ridge Boys. Tom Wild has been playing on The Opry. Drummer William Ellis will soon be out with Montgomery Gentry to promote their new single.
And wow! We’re cutting lots of tracks at Play It Again Demos and Nashville Trax! Every one of the musicians listed here and on our pages has either been on at least one or more sessions in the past two weeks, or is scheduled within the next week.

Why NOT have Blake Shelton’s fiddle player and session quality musician Jennee Fleenor on YOUR project?
We haven’t been this busy since 2007!
P.S. Busy is good!
Red, White and Blue Songwriter’s Shocking Feedback On Demo.

Nashville Trax Producer, Bill Watson
I was nervous about this one, after all I practically tore the original rough apart and rebuilt the song. A simple copy of it with better playing and vocals would have sufficed, ensuring the songwriting team who wrote it would be good with it.
But I’m not in this business for “play it safe,” “content” or “pretty decent job.” The aim is always higher… far higher.
Rob and his co-writers are elated with the prior two songs they had produced here, but rather than imparting a “no problem, we got this” sentiment, it only increased the pressure to outdo the previous two projects. Patriotic songs can be exceptionally difficult, because to work, they must evoke passion, stir the soul if you will, without resorting to male-female relationship emotive techniques. The arrangement has to do it.
I knew we had something special going on during tracking but decided to hedge my bets by working on the morning of May 26th, 2014 long enough to mix Red White and Blue. Crazy I guess, but it felt like the right thing to do.
Mixing a patriotic “troops coming home” tune on Memorial Day? Making this song exceed all expectations was no longer a vague hope or abstract concept, mentally backed into a corner, there simply was no other option.
When the mix went out and I didn’t hear back from Rob right away I started wondering if he hated it but didn’t want to say anything? A couple more days passed and all I receive is Rob cryptically saying he’d listened “but had to run it by his co-writers and others,” I’m really freakin’.
More time drags on. “Man, I thought we nailed that song to the wall so hard we busted right through to a place where eagles soar and Churchill is shouting, ‘We shall fight on the beaches. We will fight in the streets, We shall not fail!’ as the allies begin the D-Day assault. F-15s are tipping their wings to acknowledge our efforts as fireworks light up the sky.
“What went wrong?” I pondered.
Finally the word came in today:
Hey Bill,
I needed to get every one’s input, Jimmy love’s it, as so do I , and all that I played it for, Jenee is really incredibly talented and truly gifted, You All put you heart into this song and did a great job, BILL U ARE A GREAT PRODUCER, HAT’S OFF TO YOUR WHOLE TEAM !!! So thanks! GREAT JOB !! GOD BLESS AMERICA !! Rob C. and everyone in Winston Harold
Avontone CK-7 Microphone Review
Posted: May 2, 2014 Filed under: Studio Equipment | Tags: Avalon VT 737, Avontone CK-7 Microphone Review, ZZounds Leave a comment
Nashville session musician Mike Douchette lays a harmonica track
This “review” is a little different than most you’ll read on the CK-7 because we here at Nashville Trax own and actually use one. Most reviews are either verbatim copies of the manufacturer’s sales materials or written by professional writers who tested the product specifically for the purpose of writing a review. As a studio owner and music producer in Nashville, TN this review is based on my experience over the last six years.
Here’s the link to the ZZounds page where you can buy one if you like, I’m making no money from ZZounds if you do so.
The bottom line is the CK-7 is a great microphone, although the applications are somewhat limited; in those applications though, it excels.
It’s listed on ZZounds as a vocal mic and for most studio vocal use it would be far better for vocals than, say, a dynamic like the SM 58. But there are many other large diaphragm condenser mics that I’d choose over it for vocals, even in that same basic price range. The sound of the CK-7 is a little gritty on male vocals which could be a good thing sometimes but I’ve had no use for it at all for female vocals, in A-B comparison tests it’s never once won out on a female singer.
Where this mic has excelled is on acoustic instruments. It’s sensational for acoustic guitar and just as good for fiddle, banjo and mandolin. In combination with a good pre-amp, it can’t be beat. More than one Nashville session quality acoustic musician has remarked that no studio achieved a better sound on their instrument, thank you CK-7!
A good acoustic guitar sound can be achieved with the CK-7 placed a few inches away from the guitar neck around fret 12. For most acoustic instruments you’ll want to use the mic’s roll off switch to eliminate some of the low frequencies. In most situations you’ll likely prefer the unidirectional setting.
Of course the preamp you use has a lot to do with how a condensor mic sounds. I use the Avalon VT 737 setup to the Avalon recommendatins for acoustic guitar. For drums, vocals, horns and other items you need to record I’d keep looking but the Avalon/CK-7 combo should give you a great sound for just about any stringed acoustic instrument. – b.e. watson

Trick Pony: Together Again & Looking for Songs! Pitch Opp!
Posted: April 24, 2014 Filed under: Song Pitch Opportunity | Tags: Heidi Newfield, Ira Dean, Trick Pony reunited Leave a commentPitch Opportunity:
All three original members of Trick Pony have reunited, (yes, including Heidi Newfield). Band member/producer Ira Dean is looking for material for a new record. Submit uptempo country hits only, and only through a Nashville based music publisher such as:
LAMusicPublishing.1@gmail.com. Contact for permission before submitting.
Heidi is a fabulous harmonica player so if it works for your tune, a harp solo might be that extra edge you need to get a “yes.” We have a top-notch session harmonica guy in Mike Douchette, just chomping at the bit to play on your song.
If you’ve ever seen them live you know this a high energy band Trick Pony is and likely wanting material to match that mindset. We saw them at Kentucky Speedway where Ira rode his bass guitar across the stage and Heidi was all over the stage and runway playing her harmonica. High….energy!

Pedal Steel Guitar Tracks Online: Steel Tracks Online For Your Recordings
Posted: April 20, 2014 Filed under: Nashville Session Musicians, Studio Services, Tracks Online | Tags: Australia, Mr. Mike, Nashville, pedal steel guitar tracks online, Steel Tracks Online, United States Leave a commentWhether you need a drum track online, a guitar track, bass guitar, steel, fiddle, sax, flute, harmonica, background vocals, lead vocals, piano tracks online…you name it, we can do it!
But how easy?
Louise D’Arcy found out how easy we are to work with, even though she’s located in Australia, she now has a steel guitar track by one of the best players in the world, straight out of Nashville Tennessee and Nashville Trax Recording Studio!
Here’s how it went down:
Louise D’Arcy
Apr 14, 2014
Hi,
My name is Louise D’Arcy, I am a singer/songwriter from Australia and am currently Studying a Bachelor of Popular Music. For our assessment we are required to produce 20 mins of original material per semester. I have a country song I wrote called Crazy (Wild Heart) and would love some Pedal Steel guitar on my track. The track itself is still in early stages with only the acoustic guitar recorded and some guide vocals. I will attach the track, if it is not suitable in anyway regarding the volume of panned click etc. please let me know and I can send you another bounce from Pro Tools.
Kind Regards
Louise

Hi Louise, I’ll take a listen and let you know.
Do you have a chord chart by any chance? If not, no biggie, we have great ears, just saves a few minutes, don’t go out of your way to make one.

Track is fine for us to work with Darcy, good job. Nice song, good voice.
What’s the deadline?
Bill Watson, producer.

Apr 17, 2014
I don’t have to have the track handed in until June but it would be great if I could have it on or before the 2nd of May if possible, just so I have plenty of time to add other parts and mix and master it.
Anyway just let me know if there’s any problems.
Thanks again!!
Kind Regards,
Louise
Oh yeah, no problem Louise. We do are in the habit of doing these quickly because a producer is usually waiting on our track to move their project forward. I’ll get it back to you no later than end of next week, most likely sooner.
Bill
Louise D’Arcy
Hi Bill!!
Sorry, I forgot to mention in my last email (but you’ve most probably heard it in the track anyway), I play slightly off the click purposely right at the end for the outro. I just thought I’d mention that, a part I had done elsewhere they stayed with the click and i made a messy ending.
Apr 18, 2014 at 5:01 AM
Ok, no problem.
To Louise D’Arcy
Apr 19 at 4:51 PM
Hi Louise,
Your steel track is finished. You’ll get a Dropbox invite no later than Monday afternoon and you can download it from there.
The player is our primary pedal steel guitar man, the great Mr. Mike.

Take Care,

Lauderdale, Marc Loren, nashville trax Leave a commentMarc Loren of 42nd Street Studios hired us to do a fiddle track (for a country song he’s been working on for one of his clients) through our Trax Online service.
It was a bit of a rush job, we were contacted by Marc in the morning and he needed to mix that afternoon. Our fiddle player, Jenee, happened to be available.
Done deal!

Forward to future projects with you.” Marc

Harmony Singer Online
Posted: April 15, 2014 Filed under: Studio Services | Tags: BGV stacks, Harmony Singer Online Leave a comment
How would YOUR song sound with a Nashville pro singing harmony on it? Awesome!
Producing original music at home is popular but so many people who “roll their own” don’t know where to turn for just the right singer. The singer IS the song so it’s imperative that you hire the right one, but it can be frustrating to find a singer locally that sings well, fits the song and has a clue on how to deliver a track.
Yet it may be the easiest thing you do.
Simply pick your singer from this page
