I just thought to post my latest work, an album that was done almost exclusively with DIY gear (except mics, DAW and AD/DA conversions).
Processing with lots of DIY outboard, analog mixing (with the DIY yellow bus mixer) to a very fine DIY tuned Studer analog recorded (15Ips).
Mastering also with my DIY gear.
The only thing I am not very happy about, is the fact that the band and manager were interested to have a final product with a similar distorted sound and RMS level like the band Franz Ferdinand. :shock: There was distortion processing on the voice tracks :grin: :twisted:
So for the first time in my mastering career, I sinned and pushed the level to absurd values like -7, -8dB RMS. But if you listen to the not very loud parts you can hear that there is some dynamics even with that crapy myspace data compression. :grin:
It looks like the album will be released in UK in the not so distant future.
I really like the mood of "Lights out".
