Intergalactic Love ~ Gmac [wma] [mp3]
Hollywood Shit ~ Gmac [wma] [mp3]
The 4 songs featured in this playlist represent a re-mixing and mastering project for the Trenton, NJ-based Hip-Hop artist Gmac. Multiple tracks has been recorded in Audacity (DAW) and were provided in the form of 16-Bit/44.1kHz .wav Stems of the Vocals & Instruments. MoonMix Studios re-mixed the Stems in SONAR (per the artist's direction). Mastering was accomplished in WaveLab.
These 3 spirited Hymns hail from the Eglise Evangelique Baptist Church Choir of Philadelphia, PA. A 'Location Recording' project, the Choir performed these hymns in their church (a spacious, Greek Revival style temple) assembled on an acoustically designed plaster construction stage shell. An array of 4 on-axis microphones were placed in an evenly spaced quad pattern across the front of the shell, elevated minimally above the vocalists; and at the same upward angle as the shell's stepped platforms. A 5th & 6th mic were placed on either side of the choir, midway back; and parallel along the side walls (so as to capture the stage's natural reflections & ambience). Mixing & mastering were accomplished in SONAR.
