Worked with a R&B singer/songwriter out of Toledo. Dude came to the studio and comped a few chords on the Triton for a minute while singing some lyrics that one of his posse wrote down. He went back and switched a few words, wrote out a chord chart. This took about 5-6 minutes.
Then he started sequencing a drum line and arranged it. About 5 minutes.
Then he threw down a bass synth, piano, electric piano, strings, a little organ and whatnot. About 25 minutes later all the music was recorded. My assistant and were running to keep up he worked so fast and flawlessly.
Then he jumped in the booth and did his vocal parts and harmonies--one take each, absolutely perfect. Then he had his backup singer come in and do the chorus--4 part vocal harmony with 4 tracks per part.
In a little over an hour we had the whole track written and recorded. They came in the studio with really nothing. He was in a hurry so I only got an hour to mix the track, but it still came out pretty great.
Whole project done in two hours. Insane.
