For starters let me say, Damn I wish google wave was launched a year and a half ago, it is very much what I wanted for Disembody. Two years in the making at Google by the team that built google maps. Obviously Jonny could have built it for me if he’d really cared!

So, another day another mix of SPP4. We’re getting really close, basically tweaking the finer points of the doublebass and piano. For this recording we used a great studio, with awesome separation (by our standards), but we do have bleed from the piano and rhodes in the doublebass mic. That’s requiring a good deal of finessing. In the past we had no separation on mics, and that made mixing easier, as we had far fewer options. With these really clean tracks I can do a lot more in the mix, and the final record will sound a lot better. But having bleed in just one mic (out of 19), and unfortunately one of the most important mics, introduces a world of conflicts. Very time consuming. OTOH, I’m learning a ton about mixing and EQing and balance and the like.

I updated my photos and resume at IMDB today. I think I will be able to get work as an extra in scenes in biker bars and insane asylums now.

Tonight, more updates on vime. And recording my backing tracks for Copy Lake.
