Last Day Mixing at Alaska
Had a very successful last day with Bob at Alaska today. I think we’ve finally managed to nail that bass sound we’ve all been searching for. Just waiting on a few more mixes from producer Dan Carey to be handed in and we’ll have the lot! Major butterflies.
This month we’ll be mixing tracks for the album. Yesterday we were at Alaska studio with Bob Earland on the desk. Got some nice rough mixes down, one potential album track and one possible B-Side. Album is sounding tight.
…yes that is a microphone pointing at a tape deck…
Mixing Day 1 – Slow Slow
Just got back from our first day of mixing at Alaska Studios, with Bob Earland, who recorded our very first EP back in 2008!
The album is coming along nicely. Today we mixed a brand new version of Slow Slow! Sounding like single material! We’ll keep you posted.
Gig in Cardiff tomorrow supporting Dan and Pip. Look forward to seeing some of you there!
