Basically the last 24 months of my life have been consumed by recording songs from the previous 4 years. This week I will put the finishing touches on these recordings only to prepare myself to record 2-3 new songs from the ground up at my home studio.
The album is like 3 albums in one. With so much layering it might as well be. And when this thing gets mixed and mastered it is going to sound great. The problem is that when we came to the enterprise of laying down all this material, we were fairly noobs and the steep learning curve gave way to some issues that will play into the final stages of this project.
The main issue is this: I have ambient over dubs on 'guitar 2' tracks, saturated vocal renders on pad tracks and things like that because of Pro Tool LE's basic track limitation. I have been able to bring some order to this chaos by bringing similar timbres together on the same tracks, but the idea of automating levels just kills me. In my pre-mixes, the mixer is jumping around to the point of being completely unmanageable.
Rumor has it that I can spread out the tracks on an HD system, but I can imagine that will cost me some $$$ and time in a professional studio. Also, I have heard that PT sessions are readable in Logic where I can do the same thing...is there a better solution?
