------------------

Mixing the tracks I was able to capture with Lido's limited amount of time  [her being a full time student and mother] was vastly different from the Lost Babies. Although the tracks contain some raw elements that I threw into the composition process, it is not a compact tight and dirty grunge band, but rather I strove to create a both massive and present sound with the samples, voice and horn. Ruleta being a more straightforward track was certainly the easiest to mix, and came together quite well. There will be a little bit more to add to it, but not much - in fact there will most likely be much to cut away! Of course only some of these vocal takes are keepers, but for the purpose of this short 3 song EP of the upcoming album ' La Papessa ' this summer, it is a great performance. Lido's dynamic range is a tough beast to handle, but get some good AKG's on it with decent preamps and it sounds incredibly powerful. More thoughts soon.
