Fall Fights – remixed
Fifteen years ago this month The Drew Johnson Band began tracking our album Invention of the Wheel. To celebrate that event, I have remixed the song Fall Fights.
On one hand I am very proud of what we as a band accomplished. On the other hand I am very embarrassed about how I failed as an audio engineer.
Of all the songs on that album I think that Fall Fights is particularly bad as far as the engineering/mixing goes. I could go on and on about how many problems there are with that mix.
I decided to dig out the original tracks to Fall Fights and start a new mix from scratch. I have been seriously studying mix engineering for the past few years and doing a lot of it. I know a lot of tricks and techniques now that I didn’t know back then.
This new mix is how I was hoping it would end up sounding when we were tracking it. Hopefully I have redeemed myself to some extent.
Here is the original version in case you’ve forgotten how it sounds.
This sounds amazing, Drew! I was always a fan of the first version, but this sounds even better. Thanks for sharing! Now remix the rest of them gems. 🙂
Nice to hear your awesome voice again, my brother!
sounds nice brother
i still keep “Downtown” in steady rotation….the three of you were so incredibly dialed in on that track…
