hi tchad.

i could spean hours asking you questions..you have always been an inspiration to my work, and i experience extreme euphoria listening to the albums you have been involved in...in particular joe arthur, stina, soul coughin, pearl jam, doyle bramhall, suzzane vega...and brendan benson.

curious about the mixing of brendan's album "the alternative to love" ...where was that done...did you mix off brendan's original tapes, or was anything in a digital format. and...what reverb did you use on "the pledge" you nailed that phil spector sound !!

thanks in advance for your time here on the board !!!

cheers,

Thank you very much.
I can't remember there being tapes so I'm figuring PT's.
Mixed in the Big Room at Real World to SADiE at 24/44.1.
The ambience you hear is the room sound they recorded with the kit. Probably ran it through the Spectrasonic 610's.
I remember all their sounds were really cool already so it was a breeze to mix.

No complaints on the ATB. Good all 'rounder.
