Good 2nd Set. Beautiful Matrix
I’ve had Joanie’s audience recording for some time. And it’s a decent capture. But this mix is definitely a step above - check that - is two steps above her AUD, as is always hoped for in a matrix. Hunter comes through again with another great marriage having chosen Joanie’s AUD and this board. And this board is a good one with the vocal mics being well balanced with the instruments. The only sound modification on my part was a little reverb to soften and jell the vocals to give the marriage some “consummated” room decay for a natural, live feel. And OH, the lube feels sooo goood!
Love the UJB opening into Estimated into something Caution-esque into He’s Gone into The Other One. Very, very nice though their lyrics timing is a little sloppy. But here’s where I diverge from the script, chopping up and mixing a very different 2nd second half - For my taste, I eliminated all of Drums and Space to fade in NFA from TOO, and then faded in UJB from NFA as the set-ender sandwich. All the outros are quiet, so the transitions are really easy to mix. I have Brokendown as the usual closing encore (where it rightfully belongs) for a concise and cosy 1:09:33. But that's just me. Hehe.
Thanks Hunter for another wonderful production. BTW, nice shot of Jerry from Jay Blakesberg.
