for those into trash godz.... NEW HOUR LONG JAM

I mixed this as a live continuous performance like they did it back in december.... no automation and only the tiniest piece of editing

Sounds like a fun session, Jim. Thanks for giving us a listen.

What can you tell us about the drums/drum machine/drum samples?

emu or ensoniq late 90s machine, maybe an ASRX? not sure which one at the moment. I didn't do any drum replacement or anything like that I'm trying to get some of these ones with multitracked drums done before I have to do the ones with just recorded midi.... I'm not in love with a lot of the emu sounds floating around, but I have a backlog of work to do and if they don't specifically ask me to I'm just mixing. If you build in sound design you could spend your life doing these and die with some incomplete

Amen. Done > perfect any day of the week.

right now I'm in a catch up phase with these guys who have over a years worth of stuff at an hour a week.... imagine that. As I catch up I'm going to address the drums fully with all this midi data.

I thought there were some interesting drum timbres in this latest Trash Godz drop, that's why I asked. Whatever you're hearing that you want to change/address in future releases, that's all you. ;)

My "done > perfect" comment is a mantra for myself, one that I am 120% guilty of not abiding by as of late. I didn't mean to imply that anything in this latest release needed to be perfected.

I try to make a live pass I'm at peace with, the mix is the performance for a long session! I like to have a glass of wine and just record while I manipulate this stuff.... so you like the drums? I was worried. I mean some of the timbres are due to post manipulation I did, overloading line amps, whacking with 160s and 1176es.... sometimes the compression was secondary to the weight of the in and out line amps the mu samples respond interestingly to my outboard.....

EDIT: this is my second pass. the guys thought my first pass was too clean so I dialed back my converter returns and red lined everything, eectrical taped over my clip lights.... they were right, the upgraded power rails on my desk didn't collapse as I was worried they would. the double voltage caps provided ample transient response while I saturated my busses. Its also partially brauerized with 2 submixes into parallel compression busses.... bus A is a fast attack bus utilizing neve diode bridge compressors into pultecs boosted 4dB at 4000c/s and 2dB at 8k being hit with a boosted output from the unlinked compressors.... the sustain bus is bus C which is a pro vla mk1 at auto attack and 6 to 1 or so low threshold with a maxed return output for additional saturtion. B is split mono fx and D is lexicon reverb. Channels 15 and 16 are also reverb to C and master from a circuit bent digitech I performed as a 4th member ofthe band which they actually gave me as a gift in march to see what I would do with it! but anything might be routed to any bus at any time and not permanently.
