The Challenge of Catching Up

[Mixinthecloud]

As many have intoned, this was no easy get. Between the plethora of takes and tracks and some dodgy recordings, this was a real challenge to balance energy, texture, nuance, melody and power.

The vocals were the biggest challenge for me and as a result there are two compressors and a limiter on the tracks I've chosen (which were made up of three takes). Getting the vocals to lay easily against the ensemble was also a bit of a chore.

The guitars are wonderfully lush with incredible textures and melodic nuance. Getting those to read musically was also a test.

I think I've compiled something enjoyable and musical.

As always, comments are greatly appreciated.

Enjoy.
