Live @ Roosevelt’s OOT Video
Video: Down to Us
Out On the Town and Roosevelt’s created this video either to promote Roosevelt’s or Fosterchild, it’s unclear, but the audio was captured track by track using the Presonus StudioLive 16-4-2 and a MacBook Pro running Presonus’ Capture™ The camera audio was not usable and this mix was done especially for the YouTube OOT Video.

I even got the original ProTools HD mix of “After the Fire” and mastered that as well to make the CD one whole project coming out of Wombat Studio.

Brian had tracked most of this CD at Echo Studios (I think) and had me finish it up by tracking keyboards and some additional vocals. Also one guitar part was redone. All of the projects were in Digital Performer 6 and I had never set eyes on DP before. I learned the program to do the recording as well as the final mix. Once I thought I was there, Brian pushed me farther to have some fun doing things that I would have (maybe) never done live.

Took the mixes that my brother Tom did on his portable recording unit and mastered into some excitement and volume (Loud Wars). The excitement brought out a bit of the recordings that were already harsh. I would have liked a complete remix before this mastering job, but up against time and a desire to save money on the project it was done real quick. As I recall, a while you wait type of deal.

This is the experience as covered on the “About” page. Soundcraft Series Two direct outs via a MOTU 24io into a PC running Cubase SX3. Because of edits and the software, I had to bounce out track by track in real time (it seems) in order to send these tracks to the producer who mixed these tracks. I landed a lot of airplanes. ‘course I had a whack at some mixes too. This session’s “After the Fire” is the backing track to Fosterchild’s “After the Fire” video, so tracked at WombatStudio.Org and mixed by Jim Ebert.
