Another Reggae rocker from a different band. Recorded yesterday.

Came out pretty cool. Good band & cool guys to work with. I am not crazy about the delay on the vox in the chorus(s) but they wanted it there. Other than that I am happy with it. Your thoughts are? http://soundcloud.com/stormroomstudios/dayboozin

Thanks Lynn, My band has been very appreciative. So were these guys too. They plan to return to do the rest of their record and even made a point to name 5 other studios they have been in (much bigger names & places) and said I had the best sound hands down. That was a cool compliment to get. Dialing in my skills more & more everyday. Lately I have been working to really understand compressors & setting them up properly. For instance I love the little extra bite I was able to get on the snare in this track with good comp settings. And using parallel compression helps fatten up the mixes. I blended in a little of that for the drums & then again for the bass on this one. This was recorded, mixed, & rough pseudo mastered in 5 hours. The next day the only tweaks were to raise about 4 syllables in in one spot of vocal & they asked me to add delay to the lead vocal on the chorus. After that.... Done. They are ecstatic with it. Once the whole record is done we will be using Danny D. to master the whole thing properly.

Nice work, Chuck.  I remember when you first came up here with these band recordings.  You always did good but your chops have come a long way.  This sounds like a really good live performance recording to me.  You captured the spirit of this music and put it out to us.  I like this a bunch, kinda made me move my feet.  i was chair dancin". :-)

that was fun, Chuck!
