Barcelona visited Blue Microphones’ headquarters and Studio in late October of last year. They spent their better half of the afternoon recording several tracks which will be released on their upcoming album. They used the Bottle Rocket Stage One with B6 Capsule to record vocals and guitars. Brian Fennell writes: “Our experience with Blue has been great. Whether it's tracking a raw demo of a song using the Snowball, or using the Bottlerocket to capture a sweet, ambient electric guitar in a warehouse, Blue has helped us produce a solid product. The only complaint I have is that I don't have a Blue Bottle that's bedazzled with jewels like Lil' Wayne yet."
