More Colleen Savage Session Pics.

Received an e-mail from Colleen a few days ago. She's back in Vancouver and delighted with the ruffs, and has struck a deal with Tim Stambaugh at Word of Mouth to do final mixes long distance. This isn't really as weird as it sounds, since Tim's rough mixes tend to be pretty close to 'finals' quality anyway. What Colleen walked out of there with at 8:00p.m. Feb. 5th would pass muster as a finished product in many quarters. Additional 'fixes' will consist mostly of just basic cleanups of things like cymbal-wash, compression and 'normalizing' of levels across the track spectrum. I remember finishing the final mix on "Profs of Pleasure:vol. 2." and driving home across the Crescent City Connection bridge listening to it, and being quite surprised at the difference. It wasn't anything overt or obvious. Just a much greater clarity to the final product. Anyway, here's a few more pics from the session: <><> <> <><> The board Playing peep-eye behind the b-3 Some of Tim's microphone collection. Geoff Clapp does the Eddie Van Halen. Colleen Savage/John Doheny. If you've seen the tv series "Treme," you've seen this studio. It's where Steve Zahn's "DJ Davis" character (based on real New Orleans "character" Davis Rogan) records his parody version of "Shame, Shame, Shame." Studio owner Tim Stambaugh described the Treme crew as "lighting the place up so it looked like a souvenier shop," but as you can see here, it sorta kinda really does look like that.
