Hi Alex.<br>
<br>
I'm just listening to the downloaded album and I'm totally agree with the other LAU folks, the album is really good: a tasty mix of Jazz, experimentation and even a little progressive at times (ie the sound of the Mellotron on track 5).<br>
I think this won't be the last time I listen to it.<br>
<br>
So, you have already list the gear you used to record. BTW, very clean and professional recording. I would like to know something about how was the process to the final mix, given that you played it all and it seems in different (maybe distant) points in time.<br>
<br>
Thanks for sharing.<br>
<br>

There's not really much to it actually.. I haven't put way too much time in the mixing/mastring process.. just the usual of getting things to fit compression, eq, and some automatation... In the stuka song I have only a h4n as overheads + kick and snare but no tom mics so the sound stands out alitle from the rest on that song.. I allways emphasize the 1100hz region on the uprightbass to give more of that buzzy sound, I'm using the 4-band parametric eq... I've been refence listening alot to The Bad Plus as this is the band that has inspired me the most lately.. I use the same panning idea they've got on most of their songs, eg bass and piano to the sides and the drums !everywhere! -_- It really separates things! I also make use of the ir-lv2 plug alot, mostly for room emulation and reverbs.. I record the drums in a bad sounding, boxy garage so I put the OH's quite close to the drums and use room emulation instead.. as for mastering I really just try to get the levels sort of the same with a limiter...<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Sometimes I've thought about buying a Zoom H4n (or another similar) just for the same goal: recording stereo overheads along with 1 mic for snare and 1 for kick (3 mics technique). Now I know it works, and quite well as I can see. BTW, very useful that tip of using room emulation with close overheads.<br clear="all">
