We went to Carlton Music Studios next to the River Clyde and we had to cross the suspension bridge to get there. When we got there we met Barney the Studio owner and Jamie the studio engineer and he records all the tracks. We were there to record a bit of Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins to create a Jingle for P6/7s radio programme about Homelessness with Sunny Govan Radio. We had turns of singing and we got a lot of confidence from practising and doing things over again.

When I went into the vocal booth I felt really proud of myself and I enjoyed it so much and didn’t care what anyone thought about it. We took turns and everybody had a go at singing. The vocal booth was very small but we put on headphones and the music was played though them and we sang along with it. We had lunch and then we listened to Miss Rehman and Mr McCormack sing.

We then went into the rehearsal studio and everyone got together to record altogether. We sang the song and also recorded facts about Homelessness all over the world. It’s a massive problem.

WHAT WE ENJOYED THE MOST
I LOVED IT WHEN WE WENT INTO THE VOCAL BOOTH WITH A PARTNER AND SANG WITH THEM
I REALLY LOVED THE MIXING DESK IT WAS SO BIG AND HAD SO MANY BUTTONS AND SLIDERS ON IT

WHAT WE LEARNED
WE LEARNED ABOUT HOW SOUND IS RECORDED AND WHAT MAKES A GOOD RECORDING
I LEARNED THAT YOU WOULD USE THE MIXING DESK TO CONTROL THE SOUND OF PEOPLES VOICES. HE MADE OUR VOICES SOUND SQEAKY AND HIGH PITCHED AND ALSO LOW SO THEY SOUNDED LIKE OLD MEN. JAMIE SHOWED US HOW THE MICROPHONE COULD BE USED TO PICK UP SOUND.
