Mixing and...Watain!

Ok, nothing much going on in this blog for quite some time. I just haven't felt the urge to say much because there hasn't been much to say. Everything is recorded now anyway and I'm working with the mixing right now. Have to say, it's sounding pretty good!

I also have some other news that might interest some people. The ones who attended the Watain anniversary gig in Uppsala might have noticed the audience mics on stage. I saw some people discussing it on a forum for example.
Well, here's the whole story: I had the whole setup connected to an Alesis HD24, a multi track recorder, all the mics, everything. The gig was recorded, but there is ONE flaw with the HD24, namely that if the power is cut, everything you just recorded is gone. GONE. And this is exactly what happened when the cursed fire alarm went off. The recording was GONE.
I've been looking around for a solution since then and today I found it. I've managed to salvage the entire performance, and what can I say, it sounds really, really good!

Now it's just a question of what will be done with the recording, and that's completely up to the band of course. Only time will tell.
