DAY 6 OF MIXING -- SONGWRITING WITH YAMISSE AND RALZ
You've read it here before. Steve and I are mixing. We have our groceries. We've downed a diet coke or two. There's been a couple of cups of coffee. There are scads of 'car test' CDR's laying around (all labeled, don't ya know). The lights are low, and we're in the groove. We just closed out a song titled 'Rain Rain' this morning, and are off on 'Coming Round' next. We're feeling the love:
You can see who's doing all the work. Steve gets the instrumental track kickin' and I move in for the vocal presentation. This would be instrumental work, while I take pictures.
Just a reminder,... Carolina is in Buenos Aires ("HI CARO"!!) so we rip & upload the mixes for approval. She's probably listening right now. That is just TOO cool.
We're mixing to 1/4" tape at 30ips with no NR, and IEC eq pre-emphasis curve. (Got that?)
These mixes are complex. There are actually more voices, or tracks, than we can play back from our ProTools rig, so we have a second rig slaved up. We are running out of console, and patchbay cables:
Lots of knobs:
Yesterday, Ralz Matthias, Yamisse and I got together for one of our final songwriting sessions. I'm liking Ralz's work so much that I am going to give him production credit. This is way cool in that I've been wanting to work more with Ralz for quite some time.
The crew:
Back to mixing.
thelove,
Dan

That mess of cables reminds me of my tv/stereo/dvd/vcr nightmare. I'm having flashbacks.
You don't need to be drinking diet coke. It's sewage. (ahem)
Glad to hear things are progressing. Since you have groceries in there, are you going home to brush your teeth and shower, change your undies? or are you getting rather 'pungent' while you work?
MWAH!
BTW - ain't the internet and technology cool? Imagine the days pre-email, fax machines AND FedEx. You had tracks delivered via Pony Express, didn't you? hehe
