The Gossman Passion, Mix Day 2

Yesterday's session ended around 9:00 p.m. We do 10 hour days at the studio, usually. It's about the time it takes to get stuff done.

We began this morning with an alternate mix of "Caiaphas." The mix we did at the end of the day had a little too much effects on some of the instruments and I wanted to pair it back a bit. The result was exactly what I was looking for. We still have five more songs to mix, but the hard work is done. Now it's a matter of placing each song in the relative mixing template that we've established with "Caiaphas." As I write this, John' s working on the first song "Take & Eat."

We're mixing this stuff to analog tape. I have the last three reels of good 1/4 inch 499 tape on the face of the planet, I found out. That should be just enough.
