Mixing Session Tomorrow
Having recorded everything at the end of April, the band is finally reconvening to mix all the tracks and make them sound nice. I'm so glad we're finally getting round to it - "leave it a couple of weeks and come back to it fresh," we said...and then over a month later...

Though conversely I am a little concerned after one of my housemates went to the hopsickle with chest pains last night. His girlfriend said they were keeping him in overnight and is presumably going back to check on him this morning - I'm assuming that no news is either good news or she hasn't got up yet.

Well done on the breathing space before mixing.
I know so many people who don't bother leaving time between, or take a rough copy of their tracks home before mixing and it inevitably ruins the completed record every* time.

*Even though I did it and my latest recordings are my best yet.

The studio engineer did a rough mix for us to take home
I gave it one listen and everything sounded awful; didn't sound like us at all. I also did a preliminary mix of one of the songs for my folks to listen to, but apart from that we've not touched them since the recording.

Hopefully this will bode well. Having said that, I already know there's at least one or two vocals I want to re-record tomorrow.
