The Surprise Album is one of my favorites! I just love the mix/work you did on it!.
If I may ask, did you get any directions from paul simon on how he wanted it to sound or did you just "do you thing" and mixed it like you wanted!?. I ask cause its such a new sound opposed so hes earlier work!, like a new level.
It sounds like the Ahuja! , was used on the odd peace of vocal, gtr and such. And is that your sans amp on the drums aswell ?.
Mixing is always a collaboration. Paul was extremely open minded about treatments and I was looking for ways to do my thing without it sounding like a bulldozer. Main thing for me was that mix treatments had to compliment the vocals/lyrics. It was a very fun process with him.
Yes, the Ahuja and Sans Amp are in there.
