Last month, Just Rich from the USA came to Japan on tour and stopped by Goodman Recordings to record two tracks. Rich brought with him the pre-mixed backing tracks, and we recorded vocals over them. Then, I mixed his vocals into the tracks.
To achieve a great mix, we used the API 2500+ hardware bus compressor for the mixbus, followed by a plugin chain using UAD plugins: Pultec EQP-1A & MEQ-5, Ampex ATR-102, and API 560’s transformer. Finally, for mastering, I used the Hitsvilled Mastering EQ, Shadow Hills Mastering Bus Compressor, and the DMG Audio Limitless limiter.
Check out the video above to hear the final result.
