Tony has sung for decades and even written quite a few songs that have been recorded by other people. This is the first time he has stepped into the hot seat with one of his own, at seventy-one! We made sure the song was tight then recorded 5 good takes here in my mixing studio. Tony wanted a gang feel with the vocals. I took the main take and worked it as the lead. The other takes I processed like each was another singer with some sense of Hendrix, Elvis & Boz Scaggs for feel. The final mixdown, I treated the vocals somewhat like The Highwaymen live where all those strong singers work in lovely ragged harmony.

I am a Mix Engineer. My approach is different from the typical online mixer these days. My approach is to use the mix to help tell the Story of your Song. I am not looking to make the loudest or widest mix, but to make your song very emotionally engaging. If you find yourself tired of all those loud but flat mixes, give me a try.

I write Space Music which I consider a form of Proto-Techno or Techno as it was initially formed by artists like Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Tomita etc. A few oddities get put here. Most of my work is on my site and bandcamp.
