just so everyone knows, the gang vocals werent really my idea
i dont like the verse ones
sorry the singing isnt everyone's cup of tea. i also think they could have been much better
this song was written as we recorded it. its pretty thrown together actually, but it came out pretty good despite that.
thanks on mix compliments. that was also thrown together lol.
if a band comes to my studio with songs they wrote a year ago and have been practicing for some time
then sure, i'll try all sorts of new things, because the songs really arent in question
but when a band comes into the studio with 2 songs and expects to write, practice, record, and edit 10 more... well there's not much time for hooking up amps and moving mics around now, is there?
especially when the band is made up of 6 people who disagree about everything OR have so much ADD that they change everything possible at the worst possible times
this is the usual situation in my realm, and this is what i deal with on a dialy basis, so you get what you get with the circumstances, time frame, budget, blah blah
the clean break on this song was literally sent to me a day before i mixed the song, it used to be a completely different part, i had to cut the song up and hit delete, and insert that clean break thing in there. thats just the way things go.
on a lighter note, i love the attack attack dudes, and we have a lot of fun when we hang out and work on stuff. but some situations arent always the best, which means lots of "preset" action on my part. when i mix i tweak around, but usually im under the gun when im mixing (due in 3 days or something like that). so i dont really have time to scratch my chin and a/b shit all day.
