General Music Chat

It usually takes me at least a week to do all my tracking, so its seldom an issue for me. I am usually tweaking the mix multiple times after that.
It's always good to get a fresh set of ears on the mix when in doubt, too. And listen at a fairly low volume with headphones to find any "noises" you didn't hear at regular volume.

Always work with someone whose ears you trust more than your own.

Once spent 2 years working on a project (long distance from home once a week) but in 2011 I needed a fast low-budget album. I called the Studio on a Sunday, spent 7 hours on Monday recording live with a band, even singing the lead parts while playing guitar for the 5 piece band we had assembled that morning. The next day we mixed AND mastered and sent it to manufacturing. Total time on the CD was 15 hours and it's in the fourth pressing now. A gamble that has paid off well.

My latest project was three 6-song EPs recorded on three different continents (N American, Europe, Asia) over 10 months. Not sure what I was thinking to jump into something that ambitious and crazy...but it's my best project yet.

So time isn't always the deciding factor. The right Producer and gear can make a project go quicker.

It's a metaphorical title of the woman who has you fooled

I started recording on Dec.15, there were a total of six sessions, but two of them were ten hours. Normally I take a CD of the tracks home and listen for a couple of days before mixing but I rushed it. This track is so good I wanted it done. My bad.

Sorry if I missed it but how many tracks are you doing? Sounds like it's getting close?
