The first stage of the mixing process was to import the session data from the drum recordings so that it was in the same pro tools session as the guitar and bass recordings.
From there, it was necessary to synchronise the recordings from both sessions, ensuring the appropriate drum recording was playing alongside the appropriate guitar and bass recordings. Whilst this is not difficult, it is frustrating and time consuming, and is something I am hoping and planning to avoid having to do on my actual recordings.
It was then necessary to go through the session and remove unimportant recorded material, such as discussions within the studio or moment where no-one was playing or the musicians were not playing as a band, making the session data useless to me.
From there, the remaining session data was listened to and the poor quality performances were removed.
The remaining recordings were put on there own tracks and listened to individually in order to decide which would me mixed.
In the end, 2 recordings of a "loose jam" played by the band were selected to be mixed for pre production, as they were the best performances from the session.
