Last days of mixing for Album #1

Sup,

We are currently mixing the last four tracks for our as yet untitled debut album, at Ruby Studios.

As explained in previous posts we've opted to mix these tracks 'in the box'. This gives us more flexibility to go back and revisit mixes and have total recall on sessions.

Yesterday we recorded vocals for the last four tracks, using a sweet Neumann mic...

Mixing 02/04/2011

Chest infection followed by flu this week, so no vocal recording this weekend. Instead we've opted to remix some earlier sessions...



Having previously mixed everything through Rob's 'Amex Angela' desk, using a whole host of cool analogue outboard gear, we decided to try mixing everything 'in the box.' With our heavily layered approach to recording we felt it necessary to have total recall on our mixes, so slight changes could be made at a later date. After 14 hours of solid recording, attempting a mix has not always produced the desired result!


Progress is being made and the tracks that we've already remixed in the box this morning are sounding more together.

I'll post some mixes up on soundcloud later...
