I'm glad you mentioned it...most people would have assumed there was a serious timing issue! Still sounds good though. I can't wait to hear some better quality recordings.

I recorded back by the board and I think the sound guy had a monitor back there so he could hear better, but the drums weren't coming through it. Life would be simpler with a dedicated sound guy, but we don't have that option - yet.
Any volunteers? And I literally mean "volunteer". LMAO!

Backup singers with that are doing high falsetto have to be lower in the mix than the people that are doing full voice harmonies. Falsetto sounds weak on its own but when mixed properly with the full voices you get the desired effect. Make sure the lead singer is panned dead center and that the back ups all have their own little place in the stereo field.
In other words you dont want two people that are singing harmonies that are close in pitch both panned right at 2'oclock or they will cluttered and try to bury each other. If you have 5 singers and a dumb sound guy or you have to mix from the stage yourself you need a one size fits all mix. I mix like this under those conditions.
Lead vox dead center
backing one left 8-9 o'clock
backing two left 1-2 o'clock
backing three left 11 o'clock
backing four left 2.
Bass, kick and snare can be dead center with the vox however the toms need to be panned around a bit. With two guitar players I pan one at 10 oclock and one at 2. When in a pinch this type of mix has worked well for me and to be honest a lot of the floyd mix you have heard uses this basic formula however since we had a very good sound man he would change up the mix for the song.
