Autumn has 4 sisters and 2 brothers which means I'm having lots of opportunities to travel here and there. Last week I went to the recording studio with Autumn's older sister, Holly who is 12.

We travelled to Walton on the Naze, Essex where Wave Break Production is based. It's a lovely little seaside town with a nice sandy beach....unfortunately it was quite grey and windy so we didn't get a chance to have a stroll.

Me and Holly listening to the recordings

It was a really interesting experience. I sat in the mixing studio with Paul who works all the magic whilst Holly went into another room to sing.

When she's done she comes back into the studio to have a listen to the song to see if she's happy with the results.

Paul was really helpful explaining different equipment, such as the new dual valve compressor and what effect it has on the sound. I learnt about reverb (reverberation) which is all about echoes and enclosed spaces. There were lots of dials and switches which made it look very complicated but Paul knows what he's doing and before we knew it Holly had 2 songs in the bag.

During a break I had a quick warm up on the drums. Lots of fun but I don't think Ringo has anything to worry about just yet.

Here's me talking to Paul about the different pieces of equipment. The dual valve compressor is very impressive.

Here I am having being shown the ropes and having a little dabble at laying down some choons.

I was hoping to maybe record a little song of my own but we ran out of time. Maybe next time. Below are 2 of the 5 songs Holly recorded....hope you enjoy them.

Believe sung by Holly Parker

Holly is a big Dr Who fan and maybe an even bigger David Tennant fan. The video seemed apt for the song

One Short Day sung by Holly Parker

A song from the musical Wicked. Autumn and Holly are going to London to see it in October and have promised to take me with them
