+ In the studio
+ In the studio
Engineer Jason Finkel Took the reins and mixed my recording of a new song called The Real Me. Jason is a great engineer/ producer and a close friend of mine. We Co-Produced my previous Record, THE KISSING ROCKS. Jason also mixed most of the tracks.
I wanted Jason to mix this track and booked a day at PYRAMID RECORDING STUDIO in Manhattan where Jason likes to work. He spent one very very long day on it. I came in to the studio two thirds of the way through the process to provide a fresh ear and, perhaps more importantly, a protein shake, some almonds, a bag of dried bananas, and some yerba maté (which I ended up drinking).
You can hear the mix at his WEBSITE and compare the difference between what I gave him and the finished product. (you’ll find links to both on the the little blog Jason keeps on his home page). I’m not officially giving links to tracks before the record is finished, but I figure if you’ve read all this you deserve a reward.
