The Time is Magic


title track from latest album


https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/bb01-the-time-is-magic


mixed using Sonar 6 PE.
Mastered in Wavelab.

this was recorded using my custom USACG Strat and a Peavey JSX Mini Colossal, with the direct output from the amp





drums: Sony Acid
bass: Carvin LB70 thru Sansamp bass Di

This is a teriffic little number.  Sounds clear as a bell and your playing is stellar.
 

what cool groove... an' some fine hot licks...
Yeah, I'll have buy this album... Very cool Bats...

very funky sir!

thanks for listening!
clear as a bell....
probably because i trimmed off all the fat!
LOL

actually, this particular mix, is one of my simplest, with the least amount of tracks..

1 stereo drum track.
3 guitars.
1 bass.

now, granted, the stereo drum track i built in Sony Acid, probably had at least 12 tracks, including the psuedo vocal 'time is magic' track, but i committed it down to a single stereo pair, and brought that into sonar to mix.


so, really, it's a super basic mix, faders up mostly, with a little automation of pan and volume, and that's it.

i put a wide band compressor across the 2-buss, and mixed into that.
mild compression.

limiter on bass, guitars were straight thru a pedal board for some compression, my yamaha dg stomp in the fx loop of the amp, and printed...
bass straight up thru a sansamp bass di....

very nice Bats - awesome sounding guitar - mix is the biz

Excellent guitar strangling
