NOTES ON MIX VERSION 3:  08/15/08
One thing that bothered me about Mix 2 was that both the bass and the horns
seemed to come in rather loud at the beginning of the track.  But, they were
not too loud throughout the track, so I decided the real problem was that
the drums weren't loud enough before the bass and horns come in.

So, instead of making the bass or horn softer, I had to make the drums louder.
Just for the first 30 seconds.

Since I didn't want to remix the whole thing, I decided to just "mute"
all the other channels and I made a mix of just the drums.  Thanks to a
clear drumbeat at the beginning, I lined it up on the very sample and overlaid
it on the original recording, fading out in the 10 seconds after the horns
start playing.  After all this, the drums at the beginning are just 3dB louder
than they were (any louder and the fadeout was too obvious), but it seems
a nice improvement.

And to make it easier to distinguish version 2 from version 3, I made the
new version a bit longer, by leaving in the drum beat and bass note that occured
on-stage before the track begins.

Enjoy!

NOTES ON MIX VERS. 2

This is my second mix version of an Improv from Safari Sam's - Hollywood.
Recorded by Gary Davis in the SSSS/DTRS format (8 track recording).
I worked the faders a bit more this time.  Also I let the tape run and mixed the next and final improv of the evening, which I've named 'Last Attack'.

Note: this version of Banyan has Daniel Shulman of Garbage on bass; this band has never played together before and therefore did mostly improvs... which is a good thing!

Comments on the recording quality and the music will be appreciated!
