Earthbound- Neverending

March – May 2012
Neverending

Earthbound is an original band from the Philadelphia area. They needed me to remix songs recorded on a 16 track Fostex digital workstation. In order to do this we had to record two tracks at a time into Pro Tools and then line them up. “Neverending” is the first song so far.

Sound samples available on their website.

EIan Thomas – Strange Beginning

May – August 2010
Strange Beginning

 

• EIan Thomas : Vocals/Guitar
• Tom Pierron : Guitars
• David Pierron : Bass
• Bob Eagan : Keyboards
• Bob Pirylis, Jr. : Drums

Audio: Latest Mix Aug 8: 17-Strange Beginning

My brother Tom told me about this guy (EIan Thomas) that recorded with a bunch of names that I would like to drop but I won’t. I just told him that I would like to record him for a sample song on this web site. He recorded this song in Nashville and I knew I could do a better job of it so we had a few whacks at it. After about 20 mixes, I think we got it pretty close.

 

UPDATE: Thursday August 8th, 2013; Mr. Thomas passed unexpectedly.

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.

Brian Bortnick … searching for answers

August 2009
Mixed and mastered 5 song CD “searching for answers…”

Audio: “searching for answers…” Medley

1. Heaven’s Treasure
2. Confessions
3. Kingdom Come
4. The One
5. Out On the Water

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.
