Wow. Super smooth, hip, great guitar playing and really impressive keyboard chops. I work the same way, playing almost everything but horns, and your stuff blows mine out of the water, bro. We need to meet up for that whisky fueled convo!

Thanks, Jim. Appreciate the daisies.

Absolutely. Summer's just getting started; nice time to drive up to the wine country.

Let's figure it out when time permits.

Salty and Tasty!! What are your mastering techniques? What did you use Dan? Sounds great!

"Salty" - my 'nickname' for years at another music site. (Methinx Charlie's psychic. ).

Thanks for the kind words, sir. My mastering workflow is essentially straightforward: Ozone5 chains (multi-band comp, exciter {in 'tube' setting), EQ, [analog behavior] normally bumps in <>70-90db range, 9kz, and often a wide Q in the 1500-4000hz bands), Imager, with frequencies set to play nice with the Multiband, limiter using IIIRC in brickwall {average peaks -6-7db, -14db RMS, peaks at -.01), and post-EQ with whatever tweaks my ears tell me are needed. Older Adobe Audition is editor/host.

EDIT: I should mention the obvious: the sonic integrity of the DM is the main reason the mixes sound so solid and open. Mastering material done on this console is a real treat.

PS: I'm already dusting off a space for that UH7000; I can see some some usefulness in a mastering scenario, not to mention tracking.

Appreciate your checking it out, Charlie; much appreciated.
