The next song on the Before the Harvest album is now currently being mixed. This (You and Beauty) song is one of the least favorite songs of mine on the album, but I think it is worth keeping. Something that bothers me about this recording, though, is how parts of it are out of tune to an extent that I probably can’t fix for now. It’s possible to change some of it, but the recording on this song is more complex than the last one. I guess it’s a reminder to me that when recording, it’s a good idea to tune up before each take, even when a guitar was in tune at the start of the session. Still learning a lot about mixing as the time goes by with hopefully some learning to show along the way. Working on making the mix a bit “flatter”, though I like to lean towards making something less “bright” at times.

As a follow up to the earlier part of this post, I went back and re-recorded some of the electric guitar parts that were out of tune and/or not quite how I was hoping they would turn out. I like the overall result now with that and now I’m making sure the timing works.
