the monitors

so we hooked up jon's monitors, and i had the most pleasently exciting mix-time of my life. arab fiesta sounded much more expensive than it actually was. good room, good mics, good pres. on a shoestring. the presonus we've checked out from guitar center translates the low end more clearly than anything i've had a chance to use. so the kick sounds solid and gargantuan. the M/S overheads are phase coherant, as they should be, and the bass sounds great through the oktava 319.

i'm worn out by the process, but driven to continue and continue on this road, 'cause the payoff is so high. everytime i put up a fader and hear the record take shape, with almost all surprises being pleasant, my fatigue recedes a little. i can't wait to hear PS in the room, and then through the mics, and then through the monitors.

time to make evening plans.
