A few days ago we received a call from JB, a shogaze band, Forgotten Wish had heard about us from past clients & decided to send over their soon-to-be-released track to be mixed & engineered. This was a whole new approach to the conventional Pop Music style of mixing that we always do. This time it was noise-based. It was a peculiar approach to this mixing technique, as we have to get the mix wide & big. Several layers of guitars was necessary, a mixture of guitar effects on the rig was also important namely the metal zone & heavy distortion. Equalisation also played a vital part here as the guitars need to be of high-frequency & sharp but not deafening. This is definitely a challenge to replicate the wall of sound for the shoegaze genre.
