| Mixing in NYC - DAY 11 |
|---|
|
|---|
Hugh said some funny things with seconds to spare as his car waited for him on Broadway to take him to the airport. "Is there still time for an edit?" "I was told off because I didn't write for my daily diary yesterday. I don't have time to write one now. I've got an idea, you can write the last entry for me!"
As you can see, an artist will always be reluctant to declare his work finished. But we finished mixing Hugh's new album in record time. On the last two days we managed to recall (that means remix in studio jargon) six mixes, mainly from the very first efforts of the previous week, to bring them up to the standard of the second week's work.
In addition, Hugh began to twitch when he felt a song needed an extra 'something' so not only were we remixing these past two days, Hugh was running out to the studio to add some minimal, but tasty harmony vocals to Harry Powers, Mr. Big and Henry Moore. Even some extra Telecaster parts were added to some songs in these past few days that were either undreamed of or overlooked in New Orleans.
All in all I'm very satisfied with the outcome and Hugh seemed to be too, as he raced out of Looking Glass studios to get to his airport car, waving the freshly burned CD over his head. Tony Visconti 25/10/03
