Latest mix, first original song from a local band. All live instruments in their rehearsal room. No drumsamples or DI tracks on the live instruments, as always.
Interesting recording process, as they didn´t _ever_ send me any form of demo of the song. So I actually didn´t know the song until it was finished 😀
Production choices were all spontaneous, obviously. But it´s become pretty good, as far as i can tell.

Impressive vocal performance, consistence and technique.
Drums: Pearl – Bass: Orange / Laney – Guitars: Orange & Marshall – Keys: M-Audio / Roli Seaboard

The band didn´t exactly want the master loud and bright – they got a DJ “remix”, and that guy demanded his track super loud and obnoxiously piercing. Probably wanted to start another round of loudness war to impress clients. So I gotta come close and make it sound similar. Still okay?

Soon to be released as a music video for my band. When you write a song and work on it for ages, you definitely lose objectivity. How´s this one?

Too many tracks, as always. Analog instruments ( entire band “mic only” ) with supportive layers, tons of effects and hundreds of automation lanes. Many of them are just for my personal wellbeing, no one else cares 😀
Jokes aside, when I got time for it, I really get into details to make it “a little more better” again and again. Make more space to fit in each instrument, then fill the space with another one to add variety.

Homerecording from 2018.
Drums, Bass, 2 e-Guitars, Vocals and 4-piece choir => 167 tracks o.O
All instrument sources are multi-mic´d, just some additional DI blended in for the bass. I can´t stand samples, never use them.

Sick loud master, -7.0 LUFS integrated rating. Still I think it´s bearable

My favorite song from a live gig in 2019. The band definitely played too early that day.

As always on a festival, you have to deal with sub-par recording environment, and sometimes really “funky” instrument settings:
This one here has a buzzsaw electric guitar, where “making space for other instruments” was way overdone. Also an electric violin that was sent as a pre-processed signal – with too much compression, ugly reverb and an overall weird honky sound. Needed lots of rescue work.
