was hoping someone may have noticed the way-too-loud bass ... stupidly,
i did the final mix late at night on my headphones ... sounded fine, but
then i listened to it today on my stereo ... *way* too loud. i'm gonna
have to attenuate it.
"cracked me up" ... what in dog's name do you mean? did you think it was

the editing was the mind-fuck ... getting the ATT sounds in there and
doing what i wanted was pretty easy, cos i had the seperate tracks to
work with. but for "turn back the tide", i had to cut up and mess around
with the fully mixed track. the only guitar part i could really use was
the intro, which i had to cut and paste and rearrange to get rid of the
initial vocal which overlaps it. for the, erm, "chorus" bit ... well, i
had a definite sound in my head, but it proved near impossible to get :(
i didn't want to add too many sounds either.
i didn't use any of the percussion from ATT, though. couldn't get any of
james' beats to fit. the "digital clipping" is either FX1 or FX2 from
Hydrogen's Techno drumkit (ha ha ha).
