MIXING SCHMIXING

Posted on April 24, 2010 with 2 comments

It looks like we have about 30 diverse tracks for "Flying To The Sun", and there remains the challenge of finding the best, acceptable mix, trying to include various elements that will not drown each other out, placing the vocals and instruments in various proportions, positions, volume,EQ,effects,etc.The process is challenging, and the choices are often made by a 'feel', simple reflections of one's personal tastes, with some basic acoustic rules.

Nice to hear from you, Bobby: Thank you for your comment and listening! That Mill Basin gig was a gas! We were there when the Beatles arrived at JFK, and experienced the exhuberance of their genius and their laughter. Have you tried an extra dirty vodka martini?

Alot more complicated then it use to be in the basement of your house on Whitman Drive. Then it was a matter of just blending our two voices with about 8 chords on the guitar.
Pete, I revisted your website tonight sipping a little vodka. Your productions are very well done and I enjoyed the sample of the songs. Hope to see you again some day on the long and winding road of life.
