Yes I did add EQ and in hind sight the mix just sucks. I've recently relocated to Cape Town and the room was not set up proper at the time of this production.
In fact the drums where recorded at Dockyard Studios by Matt Alison who did a great job. However the drummer and musicians barely had chance to get to know their parts and it turned out at very late stages of the tracking that Liska was not happy with the direction instrumentation which left us with little to work with. The exec. producer however wanted the track out the door for upload on the presidential inauguration day so no time was spent on editing drums and very little spent on the mix and I screwed up. I did not do Matt's tracking of the drums or the the vocals and mic the justice they deserve.
The other day I spent some time repositioning my sub and tuning the room a little more and when I listened back to the mix I was rather horrified. tutt
Excuses aside; do yourself a favor and get one on loan if possible in your area and let your ears do the judging. It is a good mic that deserves a try. I know that Brian and team put a lot of effort into this mic.
