  • The session contained a full Brass section with added Cimbasso. Strings were recorded on the first day, with Brass and Woodwinds (woodwinds seen here) on the 2nd day and a 30 piece Choir in the evening. Balance Engineer Rich Aitken was on hand to ensure that all the seperate recorded elements would fit together in the final mix.
