Every now and again you get a good bit - recording finished for SC8...almost
Howdy folks.
Good result this weekend.
Very good result. What a joy to do it and do it right.
I'm listening to gloriously clean, clear, well balanced mixes. Ben's got a light touch and a great ear.
We kept to the spirit of our original KC recordings, we knocked over three tracks in two days, including mixing.
Ok, except for adding Jo's vocal harmonies, but she was busy this weekend anyway so it's not cheating to add her later. I think.
By putting ourselves on a time limit, we've kept the same simplicity as the originals.

with.
no.
distortion......
Ahhhhh...
So we added some.
Rosie's solo in 'Hey Child' is bat-guano-crazy. We mucked around with harmonics and when he broke the string it just went wild. We left a bunch of the obnoxious fuzz sound in the recording....in keeping with the spirit of our etc etc.
These are not perfect versions these aren't perfect mixes, which makes them...perfect.
Can't share yet, but it's coming.
There's so much to this, from learning how to get more or less what you were aiming for, to the wonderful way in which the internal ecosystem regulates itself - i.e the joy to be had in creative argument as you go back and forth over sounds, feels, performance.
A good weekend, in most excellent company and I'm greatly enjoying the listening.
Last bits to add this week then....then...err...um...well...one thing at a time.
Bravo Ben. Bravo Brother Bill. Good work all. 'Night.
