catsittingstillWell, I have now done 7 songs (skipped one that Peter said was already working great.) Mostly it is things like changing the eq to make the esses less prominent, increasing the volume on the soft parts of the vocals, cutting out stray bits of the instrumentals that are a lot louder than the other notes and reducing them, the various things that let me (counter intuitive though it sounds) make everything louder in the mix without making the mix itself louder.
One song had not been properly checked for pitch; on the one hand it sounds better now, on the other hand that took quite a bit of extra time. Another song was much too soft at the beginning; that has now been fixed. Also I listened through two of the three parts and found the source of some pops and fixed them.
But whew it took me 7 1/2 hours or so. I need to start earlier tomorrow. I'm hoping to do four songs each of the next three days, and have second stage mixing done Friday evening. We're gaming Saturday but I'll have Sunday for catch-up if necessary.
