Day 5 - Edit day 2
Although I would have expected to have a great sleep after such a few tiring days that did not happen. Pffff, stupid jet lag… Any way, I got up around 7am after some nice Skype-time with Jessica and some cereals I continued my work on the album.
During this pre-mix production we will process all the tracks through Rich his analog and vintage outboard gear. As if the whole band was in the studio with us. All the tracks will go through some great sounding Neve channel strips, Manley and Ultimate Audio analog compressors and many other outboard gear.
But when working through the tracks Rich and I decided that we needed to have more layers of strings in the orchestra. So while Rich started programming strings I was getting back to sorting through the tracks and getting the rest of the songs mix ready.
This whole process took all day, and again when I was laying in bed trying to get rid of that annoying jet-lag, Rich and Jeff went on until 1pm.
