Mixing and mastering and listening, 9/30/10 session and beyond...

I finished the mix for Jeremy's new song "Teach Them How To Think," for which we recorded guitar, vocals, organ, and "string" parts for on Thursday 9/30. We spent most of the that session arranging and recording this song, and discussing what else we'd have put on there if we had the time.

My goal in this mixing process, and all of our mixes to date, has been to have, in the end, a clear representation of the song as it is conceived by the songwriter, and a recording that sounds good through less-than-audiophile-approved computer speakers or headphones. To that end, this is the equipment on which I'm doing the bulk of the mixing. I'm posting the resultant music on the Audio page of this blog, where it's available for streaming, so the bulk of listening will be through those means as well.

So instead of the anachronistic "Crank it up!" I'll go with "Unmute it dude!"  Enjoy.

Since we finished last session with recording, our next meeting should open up with the introduction of some new material. Details in the next post...
