Today's action took place at a new venue! At least, new to those of you who had tuned in before! I can't say in too familiar with the place acoustically. I've only ever mixed a handful of times, but nonetheless,  it did not pose too big of the challenge. While I am happy with the mix I gave in the venue, I was not entirely satisfied with how the recording sounds. The drums sounded pretty sweet live, but listening back to the recording, the drums kinda flew away simply because I did not need much drums in the overall mix. I would say that the drummer today was exceptional! There was no need for much drums in the live mix because he hits the drums so loudly - all while not sacrificing dynamics. Mixing his playing live was such a breeze. Of course, all these are literally just excuses. Always working and learning to be better. Let me know in the comments on how I can improve in the future!

Overall, great and amazing sounding live band. I heard that tonight may be their final performance on that stage and I'm honored to be a part of their farewell gig at Timbre+ One-North.

Also if you haven't already heard, the bassist is phenomenal as well!

Called in to sub for a fellow engineer who couldn't make it to work this evening. At first, I was bummed out that I did not get the opportunity to mix for my friend's band as they are residents at this bar on Saturdays, however, the moment this substitute band, Blessings For A Good Day, played their very first song of their first set (which was this), I was blown away - PROPERLY Blown away. 

I have been mixing for quite a while and it is rare to see bands genuinely look like they're having fun on stage. This was one of those rare bands. Their joy was infectious throughout their time on stage so much so that they pretty much revived a seemingly dead hawker centre. The crowd went INSANE. Them sneaking licks and random off beat syncos were a massive treat to other fellow musicians watching as well.

It was a pleasure mixing for them!

ALSO YES I LEFT THE DELAY ON AT THE VERY START. FORGIVE ME.

Welcome to the place where I dump recordings of some shows I mixed.

Work in progress.
