I had a quick 4 hour session mixing 7 jazz songs. We spent the first hours listening to other recording Patrick enjoyed and we loaded in the files. For two hours we matched that sound fairly quickly and edited the heads and tails of each tune. I then mastered it all with the L3 muliband inside of Wave Burner. EZ, fun and creative. This was an ideal session for both of us. Patrick play amazing Miles Davis inspired music all over the Boston area. His personal playing is an ever evolving mix of highly communicative, improvisational, dynamic jazz virtuosity.
After the session we drank wine spoke about the Transfiguration Monastery where I'm recording the monks chanting.

That session was a real relief.. I had recorded the tracks 6 months previous and the raw mix was unusable. AND it was getting passed to places that I hadnt intended for unfinshed work to go - Art Circles in NYC, jazz club owners in Russia, and theatre people in England. So.. A quick call to owen. and we were in business.
ReplyDeleteI had previously tried to describe the sound I was looking for, but the engineers were only hearing where the balance of instruments were ( drums dead nuts in the middle, piano on the left, bass on the right.. ) but they didnt hear the resultant sound.
Owen picked up on that.. Concert on a big stage, well miked, everyone in the band had an equal voice. He then used his digital magic to create the sound of being on a stage, moved the music into that simulated area and then adjusted the various voices.
Everyone liked the results..
They are loaded on the Bitchesbrewband website and soon will be on my own bats-tones.com site..
it was an enjoyable experience. I'll probably redo the solo sessions in the near future. -- more to follow
