Silver Night 11

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Anders

The next song to finish is Silver Night. I think we are quite happy with the arrangement and instruments, so it basically only needs to be mixed. Listening to Geraldine by Glasvegas, which was a big inspiration for the guitar … Continue reading →

Posted on April 14, 2009 by Anders

Måns and I spent the evening in the studio mixing Fire Fire Fire for (hopefully) the last time. We improved the vocal sound and generally tweaked levels and the arrangement. 090414_fire-fire-fire_07

Tweaked some more today: – added new drumfills – made the drums less boomy (removed some dBs at about 250Hz, added some at 2,5kHz) – added another tambourine to the ending – some mastering changes 090402_fire-fire-fire_06

Fire Fire Fire 05

Posted on March 31, 2009 by Måns

Anders made a new mix and worked over the vocal sound to make it less muffled (thanks!) and also replaced the bass sound with the one he used originally. This mix sounds a lot better and now I’m thinking I … Continue reading →

Fire Fire Fire 04

Posted on March 30, 2009 by Måns

Underachivers 06

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Anders

Måns had an idea to put a delay with lots of feedback on the last words in each phrase in the verse, so I tried that. Sounds kind of nice but maybe shouldn’t be on every phrase. Also I added … Continue reading →

Underachivers 05

Posted on February 25, 2009 by Anders

So this is the result of last night’s session. We did lead and backing vocals, added some synths to the ending, and Måns cut out a piece of the vocals to make a radio-like reply. And a fade out! 090224_underachievers_05
