Dear all,
please find my attempt and approach on the fabulous recording session. It's work in progress and any artist's interaction and feedback would be great to improve my work. Thanks in advance, Wes, in case.
Approach from raw listening
- There's a very beautiful "airyness" in the take with percussion nuances and ambient and room mics I would keep.
- The prominence would be in the narrating (singing) voice
- I noticed each instrument has at least a point where it should stand out (a riff, an answer to the voice...) I should keep this in mind in further balancing.
So I set up the PT session with the first round of balancing and cleaning (even if I'm constantly reminding myself not to polish too much in order to keep the feeling).
- Drums and percussion sound and feeling changes enormously by selecting or de-selecting one or more of the room takes.
- Not yet fully convinced by the kick and the snare sound. Especially the snare, with the room tracks is challenging me.
- The piano and the dobro fight a lot in the same freq space.
- Voice is at the moment (maybe too) prominent on purpose.
- Some reverbs added so far but just a touch.
The first round is posted.
