[LAU] Music Made with Linux: Rated Blue-Turnabout Album

[info at bandshed.net]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and comment. Song 1
(Straight Up) and Song 5 (Unsteady) are deliberately mixed in the old
classic power-trio style, bass on one side, guitar on the other and
drums up the middle. This goes back to early rock trios (Cream,
Hendrix, The James Gang, Grand Funk, Blue Cheer etc etc.) when stereo
first started to catch on in the mid to late 60's often the guitar and
bass would be panned opposite to emulate the stage sound of a trio.
I'm a trio junkie and have always really liked that sound, I also
admire the freedom of the early stereo days where anything could be
panned anywhere depending on how much LSD the band or the engineer had
ingested that particular day. Actually the drums are panned
significantly, both the kick and snare are kept fairly close to
center, the toms are actually fairly widely spaced and both the stereo
overheads and stereo ambient mics are fully stereo panned, my guess is
since I've been pretty liberal with panning everything in the mixes
that the drums come across as sounding more mono simply because their
panning is less extreme, anyway just a bit of explanation..

Thanks very much for the encouraging comments :)

Best, Glen

 Impressive.

 I do agree partly with the other comment that the drums have maybe a
 little bit too mono feel, at least for the first two tracks. But
except
 that I really like the stereo separation you have.

 I'm only so far into listening to the third song and I can maybe add
 some more comments later after listening to the whole album.

 But I have to say you guys have put in some real quality work into
 this. Excellent! :-)

 Good luck with the release!

 Best regards
