It's so great to be recording at home. You can monitor in the same sort of environment that most people listen to music in. Most people in my experience listen to music as a background to their life. Some of course listen intently but often there are things happening around people that has them not fully engaged with the music. It's easy in the studio to ignore that fact and have contrapuntal ideas carry way too much importance. Not that you want every overdub to be hitting you between the eyes but getting into the detail and recording way too many overdubs-something which I have been guilty of in the past- can be a mistake.
I gave a mix the ultimate test last night and played it through £1 speakers. The verdict? Don't buy speakers from Poundland!
We've already mixed two instrumental tracks and started work on the first song using bits we like from the demo and building on it.
