Blackberry Blossom

We have now been to the studio to record and mix (mixing was done in my home studio) the song Blackberry Blossom with vocals, banjo, guitar, bass and violin. I’m playing bass and guitars while Teodor plays the banjo, my sister is playing the violin and Anita Knutsdatter is singing. This recording has been produced as a part of my semester assignment at my school, and I have produced it together with a classmate (Espen Fagervik Henriksen). I would like to extend a big thank you to Anita and my sister for being patient with us during the studiosession, and also our mentor Pål Erik Jensen for giving us hints and tricks along the way. The song is available for download as MP3 (192kbits), Apple Lossless and FLAC all based on the 16-bit mixdown (using POWr-dither Noise Shaping level 1). Due to the nature of this production (using the schools facilities more than I usually do), I have only used ProTools during mixdown and recording and therefore I have not used the Apogee UV22HR dither available through Logic Studio (which was used on the last album). I’m told that the level 1 POWr dither is similar to the UV22HR (it also being a Nyquist dither), but I have never A/B tested different dither algorithms myself. Shoot me an e-mail if you want me to send you a version using the UV22HR dither instead.
