Many of you are aware that I dabble in mixing. Well, the reason i've been rather quite from the competitions is because I've been mixing my bands own stuff. I'd like you all to hear what I've done, and please crit, comment, share, like, love or do whatever you wish to do.
Brief context:
For our previous single we paid approx R4000 for one song. We dont have that kind of money, so we wanted to TRY recording ourselves. It was a band project, if it worked, great, if not, we only lost a little. So we pulled our money together to get the drummer in a studio. We were only aiming for 1 song, but he was really tight that day, and we got 3 ?
From then, we tracked everything at my house, using my humble M-Audio interface, and Guitar-Rig. My singer has a Rode NT1A, so we recorded vox. Then, I had the fun task of putting it all together. It was great fun, but it did take me a long time. Editing, my word, that is a real time sucker. Anyway. This is my first time I've ever produced and mixed a live band. All my competition entries where guitars and midi. But never live drums etc. So I had a big responsiblity. I feel I did well, I'm certainly happy with what I have released - I can only get better right? I already know what I'm gonna do to enhance the sound for the next EP.
Anway, take some time to listen to the tracks, you guys have heard the one already (regarding the Mastering debate). They also free for download. If you like it, then great. Excited for what you have to say. Most of what I did, I learnt via this forum, and all you fantastic people, so really, producer credits should go partially to all of you haha.
