    Mixing a live recording (Summary)

    The session was recorded in a medium hall with lots of microphone bleeds.

    DRUMS

    • SSL 4000 E Channel Strip (UA) on each drum track - utilizing the gate, compressor and 4 band EQ.
    • Since the toms weren’t playing at all times, I manually removed regions that didn’t contain any transients instead of using a gate. These method retains ghost notes and leaves toms sounding natural.
    • Trigger 2 plugin to add extra layer of samples to fatten and enhance the Kick and Snare drums.
    • Abbey Roads TG 12345 send to the drum bus (Parallel compression and saturation)
    • Bricasti convolution reverb ambience) and large wood room
      DRUM BUS
    • Neve EQ and 1176 compressor (25%) on the drum bus.
    • UA Studer A800 Tape Recorder

    BASS

    • Bass was recorded DI so I reamped with UA Ampeg SVT-VR.
    • UA LA2A compressor
    • Fabfilter Saturn for saturation

    • UA Studer A800 Tape Recorder

    VOCALS

    • multi compression with subtle gain reductions (Pro C2 on tracks, UA 1176 on bus).

    MASTERING**
    -Hard to explain (honestly), but basically just getting the songs to a competitively commercial position - smooth, eloquent, classy and proud - making them stand out on any playlist. I mixed the songs so they didn’t require any correctional moves.
