Thanks Kevin. I Take care with Tracking, gain stages, get a good clean signal in rooms with acoustical treatment. I record dry maybe that’s what you’re hearing. When mixing I am also apply eq so that frequencies are conflicting
My formula isn’t one size fits all but that’s how I do it.
what do you mean by gain stages ,do you mean that if you are for example -on the all ready recorded guitar track- going through an fx or chain of fx as an insert or send, you make sure that there is not too much volume and avoid it going into the red or clipping .
Thanks! Everything is 100% organic. No emulation whatsoever. What came out of the cabs is what was recorded.

Good sounding track… at times I was reminded of Diamond Dogs (Bowie). I would have preferred a fatter snare… more of a ‘dooof!’ sound to it… but that’s just personal taste and preference I guess.
Excellent recording and mix! All has been said already in other comments, I had been looking at the FMR RNP and wondering how effective it was. Price is really great and it sounds very uncolored and clean. Do you use on Vocals also?
Thanks for the listen Kenny! Actually on this recording everything is going through the FMR except for the drums which are going through my Dm3200 console.
Love all your stuff, including this! Hard to come up with any suggestions. Could you let us know how satisfied you were with the Abbey Road mastering? Anything you couldn’t have done yourself (you certainly know what you’re doing)? What did they do that you didn’t expect, or surprised you?
