Mixing Technique

The show was mixed the standard technique he show was programmed using recallable VCA’s (Control groups) that were saved as snapshots within the SD11.

The way that Jamie wanted it to be mixed by the ‘line by line’ technique where the fewest number of microphones are open at any one time. This meant meaning the vocals could sit comfortably and sometimes higher in the mix without lots of bleed from the other mics.
