One man machine, James Parkinson, AKA One Cure For man wrote, recorded and produced this EP….sort of earthy acoustic Manics-esque. Happy to have mixed and mastered it.

I was asked to do a creepy children sung version of ‘Ring Around The Rosie’ , so got my analogue synths out and wonky piano , got my reluctant daughter to do the singing and whispering and off I went. We did an English version too

Sound advice
I had the pleasure of interviewing Adrian Bushby today: Grammy winning engineer, producer, mixer. Worked with Muse, Foo Fighters…proper A-lister. A few take aways on his mix approach:
Rarely listened to tracks in solo
Used not many plug ins: knew them well
Wasn’t technical: very much a creative/feel mixer
Pro Tools stock reverb for the vocal spring
Worked quick
Automated the mix bus : quieter verse, then up a db into the chorus
Was a dude
It was an online thing, so we used AudioMovers ListenTo plug in. I’ve used the a few times without many issues, but for this session we had nothing but trouble. What I didn’t check was Adrians internet speed from his end. We ended up on 320kbs with a second latency, but he had to also convert his session from 96k to 44.1. Pretty high pressure situation to get the session started so it’s hard to pinpoint all the bits needed to make it work…..but what it showed me was we’re still a way from easy high quality audio sharing.
