Got a first for my recording project. I thought I could be close...and of course opening my mouth and saying that in front of the class made me sound like a right arrogant butt. Good thing I got the A isn't it? Egg and my face would have been in alignment

I have three hours in Control 24 later to work on the overall automation, dispersing some frequency's around my quite harsh guitars, and trying to open out a bit of space for a higher clicky kick drum. Need to calm some of the presence of my overheads and just shuffle everything around the spectrum, get the tonal balance bang on. 

After all that, I need to figure out the spaces I'm singing in, what kinda reverbs and delays would work...without traipsing through the Bazillion presets on offer. I need to make some time to sit and make my own settings that I like...start properly understanding what happens when I start twiddling with knobs (pause for innuendo) attached to a plugin or hardware fx unit. 

I've figured out that the I should be looking at to emulate in style is Green Day (especially Nice Guys Finish Last). I'd thought at the start I wanted to make it a bit more edgy...but with the pitch correction techniques I'm having to employ (and the fact I want to make it sound slick as shit)...I really need to bring it to the centre of the Pop in pop punk. 

Final few studio sessions are booked for this. I need to finish this in 2012, and spend the Christmas break going over everything I've done and what I've learnt during the process. I'll probably be doing a write up on here as well. I think I'm on the final section to this project...we'll see eh?
