Making of the album

[edit]

The entry currently says, "The complete album was recorded under a 'live' scenario, in that all instruments were recorded together at one single time instead of doing each instrument separately and mixing it together..." I don't believe that's correct. Can you cite a source for that? Everything I've read says that the unusual part of the making of the album was that they recorded Keith singing and playing piano at the same time (to capture the energy of Keith's live performances), but there's no indication all the other performers were also playing at the same time.

According to Todd Fishkind, co-author of the song "Your Love Broke Through" and one of the musicians, Keith definitely both played and sang at the same time for this recording. This was to capture the vitality and excitement. Different strategies were tried, including all the musicians playing together, but Todd doesn't recall if the final version was recorded that way or if the supporting instruments, bass, drums, strings, were on a different track or tracks. This is a small point, and I don't have anything other than this "original research" to support it, but for whatever interest it may be ... Tkotc (talk) 21:51, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
