We drove up to Belize City from Orange Walk around 6:00 pm and when we got there had to do some last minute changes with the script. While waiting in the recording room everything was good then little by little we heard shouting on the streets, the clubs and bars in the area were blasting music and we were unable to record in the room. I guess a typical Friday night in the city. It was getting really late for us since we had to drive back to Orange Walk and the kids were at home sleeping. No we didn't leave them sleeping by themselves, grandparents were with them.
We came up with the plan that we could possibly record in the bathroom. Thus we tried it out and it was quiet enough. So to get a good feedback and no sound bouncing around in the room we got a mattress size sponge and placed in the bathroom and a keyboard box that was padded to help with the feedback.
It was getting real hot in there and that was because we were only setting up the stuffs for Helwa. Its a good thing I have a really nice wife who helps in every way possible and a true team player. She stood there in the hot bathroom reading her lines and thank goodness she's pretty good at it. Or else we would have been there for a while.
But anyways.. let me share a quick shot I got from that episode. Hope you all enjoy and i guess we gotta work towards a real recording studio, sound proof walls etc. haha.

Looks like a very tight space to work with. How did everyone fit in there? Had some problems myself with recording audio. I recalled someone telling me to use a bathroom but never really thought they were actually serious. I guess they were, might try that some time. Once the sink doesn't start to pour water. Don't want to imagine water spilling on my laptop.
@ Leal: it was a real nice experience and we had fun doing it. we weren't all in the room. Only Helwa, we were outside by the pc and stuff making sure the audio sounded good. We only ran the wires to the bathroom. Less noise in their the better. Try it you'll have fun. haha
J Burns A.K.A. Twitch ..lol ...that recording studio was funny though i mean all u see is the head and the comp then a big ass mattress...by the way was it harder to fit it all in or take it all out....anyways mad props thats how all those record producers and commercial companies started in the bathroom of their house recording although they might have had a smaller mattress lol
Pure genius! I always thought quality sound was taped in pricey recording studios with Sure microphones and fancy filtering effects and what not. Listening to the final cut, you got a bang for your buck!
Well admit dont know anything about studio recording but Helwa seems to be having a lot of fun! Picture os worth a thousand words!!!
