Mastering the Fire Fire Fire EP
Yesterday we went to Stockholm Mastering to master the four songs selected to be included on the forthcoming Fire Fire Fire EP. Thomas Eberger listened carefully and did wonders to our mixes! The four songs are Fire Fire Fire, Underachiveres, Silver Night and Left Behind. All four masters have now been uploaded to the All [...]
Fire Fire Fire 10
I ran the the vocals through a TLA 2051 mic preamp using its compressor and EQ instad of the DAWs. I think the result sounds slightly better, maybe because of some slight tube overdrive. I then ran this track through the Roland Space Echo, recording the wet signals reverb and a short slap back echo.
I’m [...]
Microphone test
We were not so happy with the vocal sound on some of the tracks, so we decided to do a microphone test. It has been difficult to get a sound that is both pleasant yet can cut through the mix. We chose the song Fire Fire Fire to try different mics on, partly because it [...]
Fire Fire Fire 09
Another recording of this song. Yeah, who knew? :)
We performed an advanced microphone test on these vocals. You can
All in all, I am much happier with this mix and the sound of the vocals now. Before I felt that they were muddled but now it cuts nicely through. What do you think?

Fire Fire Fire 07 – final version?
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.

Fire Fire Fire 05
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 may not have to re-record the vocals after all.

Fire Fire Fire 04
This is the first vocal take on Fire Fire Fire. I wrote the lyrics and recorded the vocals keeping a certain moment in my head, using the phrase Anders had already made up for the song (Fire Fire Fire). The mix is pretty rough and I have thrown in a snare which will most likely [...]
Fire Fire Fire update
Bounced the track with a softer bass sound (60s French Bass from the Reason Electric Bass refill) and a little more mastering.
