Ok, well.... they have a bunch of rockabilly influences in there. Let's call it PUNK ROCKABILLY.
Notnat- Thanks man!
Lynn- Thanks for the compliments, I think I am starting to get fairly decent at this. I have a total of 15.5 hours wrapped up in these 2 songs for these guys. We tracked everything last Sunday, & I had the mix for the other tune fairly well dialed in by the end of that 6.5 hr session. Wednesday I spent another 6 hours or so tweaking the mix on this one (much of it was the drummers kick hits were: soft, Hard, softer,
HARD HARD, soft, crazy soft,
Hard again... lots of manual fixes in there. Then he actually came back in and punched in Cymbal hits ....? Yep! I hadn't noticed that he left all the crash hits out to focus on tempo & then wanted to punch them in, so we got that done too & dialed the mixes in pretty solid for both & gave them copies.
They listened and noticed there were issues with one of the guitar leads & asked me to try to find a way to blend some different takes we hadn't used to make a better lead....
So on Friday, I did that. and armed with notes I made after checking it on a few systems.... I tweaked a little more and did what I could to pseudo master them here in house. I wanted it thumping but not over compressed and I think I accomplished that goal too. If you know of a Scottish polka death metal band, send them my way!
Panu- thanks man, I try!
Mike- That's funny I have heard people say Lemme from motorhead, and on the other song (though I think it's more the melody in the verse) I hear The Clash - "Rock the Casbah" Thanks for listening!
