There hasn't been much news in a while, I've been busy recording and mixing Boogie Down, (which you can hear in the player above) and Vinyl Jackets, whose next 3 tracks are nearing completion, and there's some tasty production coming up on those so hopefully you will all enjoy that. It was also the first time I used a Heil PR-30 dynamic mic for the vocals, and to be fair it sounds pretty hot, and I'm considering making the purchase!
I've also come to use melodyne for more than it's pitch correction alogrithms. It's also an amazing gate, seems to know exactly where the note starts and ends and it is much cleaner than a real-time gate. You can also use it to level out dynamics, such as when a vocalist changes from main to falestto, there's usually a big volume drop and increasing the volume of those syllables sounds a lot more transparent than letting a compressor do the work. It's something I had to pay attention to using the Heil because it captures the body of the sound so well, but some of the intricacies become a little to quiet compared to other phrases and melodyne really nailed it.
I'm also moving house at the end of the month, so want to get the mixes done before then. There's nothing worse than battling with a new room especially when there's pressure to get mixes finished! So hopefully even more audio gold being released in the next few weeks!
