Otherwise, I used a lot of the Pultec Pro EQ on Shakira's and Zolani's vocals, as well as the bass and the intro samples. You can also push it hard and it still sounds pretty. I love how it just takes the edge off the brightest material without being dull. It is the most musical AD converter that I've heard and used. Zolani's voice was tracked through a Bock 251mic with our Neve 55's onboard preamps and the LA-3A straight to Pro Tools.Īll my mixes go through a Dangerous 2Bus summing box and a UA 2192 Master Audio Interface. If the singer starts belting, a quick adjustment of the compression knob sets it right without making a mess of the gain stage. We like it because it's easy to adjust the amount of compression on the fly without ruining a take. We use the UA LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler a lot for tracking vocals at FLUX. I went back to my original sessions and brought back a lot more of the live elements we had cut at FLUX more of Zolani's vocals, more flutes, more violin riffs, a cool organ part, some percussion, and more of amazing African guitar parts, which sound like there are two guys playing but it's really one guy playing impossible stuff (should be seen to be truly appreciated). Then, I then got a call from Sony South Africa to remix it for the African market, with the mandate to make it more “African sounding” to capture the attention of local radio audiences. John's version with the Freshlyground additions became the Official World Cup anthem within a few weeks. is the most musical AD converter that I've heard and used. Then, I asked Zolani to write a bridge, we did two or three passes and John took the files and went back downstairs to take his pick. In the end, the whole band played live over John's rough. We toyed around with different ideas for a few hours old-school style - players feeding off each other in the live room.

He came up the stairs, dropped off a rough of the track and we went to work on enhancing it right away. They had flown in from South Africa to enjoy the last few days of the process. I believe the Sony crew tipped him off to this great South African band called Freshlyground, and it just so happened that I was finishing mixes for their new record that day.

My friend and studio neighbor John Hill, who co-wrote and produced 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' with Shakira, was working on the production when he called looking for an African flavor to wrap his track up.
