Mixing

After two supremely successful recording sessions it comes time to buckle into the studio, splice everything together, and make it all sound as good as possible. Today was the first day of two sessions at Great Divide Studios where I sit with the recording engineer and make decisions/comments/requests on how the music sounds and where it needs to fall in relation to the film.

We completed editing the first cue, which I was very pleased with. Definitely learned a few lessons in terms of aleatoric techniques and how to execute/notate them successfully for the musicians. The Aspen Contemporary Ensemble is a great group and really hauls ass when it comes to performing, so really we can be nothing but grateful. I also got the chance to do preliminary editing for Jimmy Neutron, which sounds really fantastic.

Below is a picture of the house in which Great Divide Studios lives. Quite the dump as you can see. ;)
