September by Earth, Wind & Fire performed by Nation One.
Timbre+ One-North
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!
Also if you haven't already heard, the bassist is phenomenal as well!

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.
