These are all pre-mixes, but they are ITB. I don't think I changed the bass eq, but I did change the RCA77/KM54 ratio to favour the 77 a bit. That would account for a fuller bass sound. I don't want too much bass, otherwise it becomes boomey and the actual bass notes become less defined.

The final mix will be summed through an old ALTEC valve mixer (2 actualy) and recorded to 1/2" tape on a vitage AMPEX 351, and back again into Logic Audio.

With these pre-mixes, I'm just experimenting with panning. Reeds left, brass right, bass centre, piano left, drums right-ish and rhythm guitar-far right.
