A big, moist dollop of pomade in the ears smooths out the high end in a very nice way. Really though, I'd guess that a lot of the signatures of a 60s record came from the tracking and mix itself. Only guessing, though, absolutely no experience with 60s methods. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b237...

Vocal bleed (TAKES OVER)
A while back we tracked a song live in someone's living room in a flat in London, vocals, guitar and a weird electronic wind instrument thing through a speaker. It was the start of a busy couple of days of tracking, so we thought we'd take "an easy one" first and the take was good. In hindsight, my ...

Taking a simple recording and making it stupidly complicated
By replacing a whole badly-recorded drumkit with samples, kick, snare, toms, hats and cymbals, whilst trying to retain the original performance dynamics.
Verdict: sounds alright, but takes a ridiculous amount of time. Not recommended.

I like Loscil a lot for droney beats. Tim Hecker is worth a look as well.

Directions to take a mix in
Just started mixing this tune - it has a pretty prominent bass and piano part, and they tend to get in the way of each other at times. I'm still a learnist at mixing so I'm unsure of how to attack the problem in a way that'll result in clarity of both parts whilst maintaining solid low-end; EQing an...

Replacing the tubes in an Ampeg Gemini I
The original(!) tubes in my '66 Gemini I G-12 are starting to become a little too microphonic for comfort. This thread is useful reading for what tubes are on offer, but does anyone have any specific experience with a Gemini?

Dealing with a boomy cello track
I have a very boomy cello track that's been causing me a bit of pain, I've attacked it with a multi-band compressor and EQ, but can't find a good compromise between low-end control and retention of performance zing. This is the part in question, in the context of the mix, with a good whack of low-ba...

I'd stick to compensating with faders and recording subsequent tracks at a level you're more comfortable with. If there isn't any clipping, there's no need to touch the files: a little volume compensation is all you need, it's better to do it with the faders (which will be processing the signal anyw...

It depends on what type of music I'm working on, but for pop music I have a rather unhealthy obsession with referencing John Vanderslice's work, particularly the Pixel Revolt album. The recording diary on his website (not all that detailed technically, but a good read) gives a few interesting insigh...
