Mixing & Mastering – a late night radio setlist
believe
Back before streaming the closest thing was free-form FM radio DJs doing their own unique musical exploration for each show, especially the late night/overnight slots (10pm -6am). They might play non-stop before breaking in and telling you what you had been listening to for the past 45 minutes to an hour.
So I have had some ‘extra’ time on my hands over the past 12 months and used some of that to create my own set list from the band Big Blue World’s material that we were in the midst of recording before things all shut down.
Good for driving, working, dosing…

mixing and mastering
Not quite Studio activity , but, after 8 months, finally got to do live sound again in a large field surrounded by trees at the Whip Poor Will Festival 2020 on Sat Sept 19. Just to get air moving from a PA was a thrill! Plus the surrounding trees added wonderful dispersion/reflections. Future Blue and Truffle played all afternoon on a beautiful sunny day. Plenty of space for everyone, but almost felt “normal”. So good to feel.
recording is mostly ORTF stereo mics at board location (60 ft from stage) with individual tracks mixed in as needed.

During the height of the lockdowns in 2020-2021 after too much boredom i started placing posts in the Musician’s Section of Craigslists from “non major” market areas such as Dubuque, MN or Yellow Knife, Yukon Territory offering to mix, remix or master anything anyone wanted. Everyone was a winner. I got to mix new material and they got a “finished” product that they otherwise would not normally obtain. Here are some of what came across the interwebs to me.
Romantic Pop – Charleston SC – Mastering
Rock – Worthington MN – Mix & Master
Ambient – Raleigh, NC Mastering from the original compressed m4a file/16 bit
Rap – Pensacola, FL – Mix & Master , original files were 2 compressed m4a files, one for the beats, the other for the vocal

Instruments:
Shakuhachi , Digeridoo , Monochord and, Koto – the monochord and koto were part of one, single instrument with the monochord on one side and the koto on the other
I played the monochord and Koto and recorded it in Marin, CA in the 1990s. And am sorry to say that I have forgotten the names of the the two musicians who played the Shakuhachi and the Digeridoo.
