Comments:
When the initial mix and track came in for “Big Green Eyes,” I felt that the tempo was too slow and was fluctuating. I tightened each track starting by redoing the drums and then locking all the performances to that via elastic audio. In many places I did this by hand since I didn’t want the music to sound too “stiff.” Some minor “TLC” was applied to the vocals with Melodyne. Then, we sped up the tempo of the track just a tad in order to takeout the “lazy” feel. This became the first of 5 singles “out of the box.”

The video shows the final mix tweaks that we all did in real time via VSN (Virtual Studio Nashville). I was streaming live audio from my Avid Pro Tools HD 3 Accel System in Nashville directly to Steven’s laptop in Rochester, N.Y. Socks and dirty clothes lying everywhere are optional. HA! Just kidding guys! Sort of… 🙂
