Thursday I did the most stupid thing ever. I didn't make a copy of the session of the track I'd been working on for the past 4 weeks... Then for some obscure reason (and the fact that I was extremely tired from my week) I dragged the folder to the trash (thinking it was some copy of some sort) and emptied the bin. Terrible.... The worst part that Mr L and I were extremely happy with this mix!
So today it was back to the studio and mix the whole song again. Although I remembered some of the work I'd done to it there was no way I could remember everything, so even after trying to match with the reference of the mix I had (I bounced the track before erasing it from my hard drive) things are still quite different.
After having spent 5 hours on it I managed to get a decent chorus and verse (although I've got a feeling Mr L might want me to tweak a couple of things here and there) so a little work on the middle 8, a few tweaks and automation on the vocals and we should be done!
The only positive aspect of this is that I think I can get the mix better than the previous version.
Needless to say that when I finished I made a copy on another hard Drive and another computer!
