Very cool jam! I'm impressed by the multi-cam editing, color theme and cool jam! Really, impressive to pull this off as a daily Jamuary!

[@Medniex]

Thanks! All this is is set for the month and is quite streamlined. Sometimes it takes more time when I want to jam with different setup or go mobile

Cool jam! Just curious: When you work like this, in terms of mixing, do you set up everything before the recording, so compressors and dynamic eq make sure that you stay within boundaries and don't get freq buildups, etc.? Or do you record multiple tracks and mix the project after the performance?

[@Medniex]

It is quite a quick and rough process. Plain stereo straight from a mixer. I just pre-jam while I'm coming up with phrases and sequences and then I get the idea about levels for each instrument. I'm also doing a master level check with all the instruments playing something at the same time (even they never do it in the final jam) so I'm sure I'm not in the reds and then I apply a quick izotope assisted mastering on the recorded material 😁

[@mountaine]

@@Medniex That's interesting! You keep it sounding clean and tidy in these tracks - well done! I guess it goes to show... a well thought-out arrangement makes mixing a breeze 😀

[@Medniex]

haha, thanks! It gets messy sometimes and maybe it is just a luck and combination of chosen palette of instruments. For example, the pocket operator rhythm has a distinct crunchy metallic sound and it is quite spikey in upper frequencies. I wouldn't trust it to carry kick and snare but for interesting secondary drums, fills, effects and hi-hats it cuts through the mix easily. But in general the Jamuary content is the type I'm not too picky about the quality if it requires too much time because then it would be impossible to do it every day.
