A Perfect Violin Track
‘Thanks Kristel, your violin part is really beautiful, it goes perfectly with the song, the feel and the flow is bringing new dimensions to the melody. I highly recommend Kristel to anyone in need of violin recordings. I sent her my demo, along with the chord & lyrics, and after a few days. Kristel delivered a perfect violin track that really elevates my song.’
Today’s recording session was a rock song with gritty guitars. I enjoyed adding some soaring violin lines to mix.
