Charity Xmas record - vocal chain and mix

[Rimskidog]

Shameless plug. I co-wrote, recorded and produced this record here at www.circlestudios.co.uk. Steve Baughman mixed it in LA. All profits on record sales will go to a UK charity for wounded veterans, Help For Heroes. Here's the link to the UK Itunes store. If you are outside the UK you may not be able to purchase until the other stores go live. Either way, if you could tweet it, put it on your facebook page or whatever I'd appreciate it (As a useful aside it might even dent Mr Cowell's chances of a xmas No.1!

Here it is:

So, on to the gear, vocals were recorded in my big room with a Telefunken USA Elam 251E into a channel on my API desk with an Avedis E27 in line. Compression came courtesy of my Retro 176.

So, in an effort to start a little debate... was it mixed ITB or OTB? abduction

Sounds very nice mate. Can I ask you how you get that lovely soft yet punchy kick sound Trev?

I'll guess at ITB.

Cheers

Anyone else gonna guess ITB or OTB before I reveal all?

[Rimskidog]

nobody?

[51m0n]

I guessed ITB on GS, so I'll guess OTB here and feel smug somewhere

Lovely sounding mix though!

[Skol303]

Sounds superb to me! I'm guessing mixed ITB.

[Rimskidog]

Yup. Itb mix. well done to both of you

FYI first national radio play today on radio 2's Jeremy Vine show.

[Skol303]

Yay! Lucky guess but I'm still chalking it up

Hope the single does well and raises plenty of money for HtH.

[51m0n]

I take it you tracked it using all your lovely toys though (that API desk leaps into my mind - hubba hubba!), in your lovely rooms, using lovely instruments?

I'm sure that doesnt hurt one little bit

[Skol303]
