Mixing “Dying” with Cam O’bi
RECORDING LOG:
Artist: Cam O’bi
Producer: Cam O’bi
Mixing Engineer: Nick Breton
RECAP:
Quite a long process to get this song together! The main issue is having an incredible demo/original song and losing all of the files. Unfortunately Cam had his laptop stolen with almost all of his music on it. In the process of re-creating a lot of the songs production wise is the first challenging step. To follow that up trying to mix the songs to capture the same sound can be very difficult. We’ve spent multiple sessions just trying to import and modify the original sounds in the session before even getting in to start mixing. We’re doing our best to capture the same vibe in the original while making it better at the same time. Feeling pretty confident we’ve matched the original sonically about as close as we can after todays session.
