This week all we had to do was prepare the session for mixing, so Alex was the only one working, and he later switched with Ross. The first thing Luke showed us was how to keep the colour of the tracks the same as the wavelength colour, which looks a lot better, and makes it easier to identify individual tracks. Then, he had Alex place guitar, bass and drum tracks into groups to make them easier to adjust, and also pan stuff left or right. He adjusted levels a little, but left the fine-tuning for us to do in our mixes. He also tweaked some of the tracks; for the double-tracked guitar this meant panning the first three tracks left, and the final three right. The overheads on the drums were also panned, as well as the floor and rack toms. My acoustic section was also panned to keep the perspective in line, so the mic facing the fret was panned left, and the other mic facing the soundbox was panned right.
Ross then hopped onto Pro Tools to edit the tracks themselves. Between each cut, he added a small cross-fade that helps to eliminate any popping that can occur. One of the guitar sections was missing a note, and this was noticeable in the recording, so Luke helped us cut a correct section from earlier in the waveform and paste it into the correct place. It then sounded fine after adding cross-fades.
After that we were pretty much done, so Ross saved the session and then several of us put it onto memory sticks and portable hard drives.
