Final Writeup

So for my final project I mixed and mastered 3 songs [4 mixes] of a band I recorded in the beginning of the semester in the CFA studio. I was mostly happy with the results and I think the band will be happy once they hear the final mixes.

Made in America (2.0 and 5.1) I liked the 5.1 mix better then the 2.0 mostly because I was able to use all the additional space to create a less cluttered sound. There is so much dubbled and in the was in the 2.0 that I never could quite get the balance right.

Newcomer (2.0) this is my favorite that we recorded and I think it came away sounding the best. Unmixed it wasn't awful and with a few tweaks it worked well. I used a Royer 121 to record all the redone guitar and it was such a smooth sound I loved it.

I Can't Know (2.0) somewhat musically annoying but the overall band worked together well for it. The bass never sounded great even when I added in some plugins but the player liked the sound so we did not go over it again.
