Jagged Edge was recently in JOI Studios' (Atlanta) A room to work on their latest release, Hard. Chief engineer Joey P. and co-chief engineer Dale “RamBro” Ramsey tracked and mixed the album to Pro Tools MIXPlus. Vocals were recorded via Neumann U87s into an Avalon 737 preamp/compressor and then straight into the Pro Tools 888 interface. The production team also included mixer Phil Tan and producers Melvin Coleman, Bryan Michael Cox, Jazze Pha and Tha Corna Boyz.

According to Ramsey, “Jagged Edge came to us to rescue the album. They had already cut 16 songs on Pro Tools and they were well on their way to finishing the record. Joey and I came in and cut an additional 40-plus songs.”
Joey P. added, “We used a bunch of different boxes to get the perfect vocoder sound. After a while, I decided to go out to my car and grab the old Roland VS-880 that I had in my trunk. I connected it to an SM57 and a Korg Triton, and then producer Melvin Coleman sat down and gave it a shot. As soon as Jagged Edge member Brian Casey heard the sound, he quipped, ‘That's it, man! That's the sound!’”
