Thank god Theo was at the session yesterday as he managed to pin point the source of concern with Same Old Blues. Pete and Theo zeroed in on what was bugging them in the rhythm and they're the kind of things you fix in Mixing:

 

- Move the bass 50 milliseconds.

-Adjust the sound of the Hats and Snare drums

- Change the balance between the room mike and the drum mikes

-Change the compression settings

 

And suddenly the song comes to life? Brilliant. So lets look at Country Radio

 

-Adjust Mandolins

-Adjust Vocals

- Re-adjust mandolin

-re adjust vocals

-LOOP/INFINITE

-^CTRL-Z

 

Realise its the drums, adjust them and then...

 

- readjust mandolin

-readjust vocals

 

ARGH!!

 

Another session this afternoon.
