2nd mix of Carl's Chair in, still sounds great, now what?
How was it before the additonal mixing? Sounded great! We liked it enough to release it!
Now comes the hard part. We have to dsitribute the mixes, listen to them, compare between an unmastered version and the mastered version, then decide what to do with it.
As we're pretty much out of the first production run of the original, we're gearing up to make some more - so we could simply replace the existing master with a new one. or we could release a second collectors version, or something..
The thing is, we now have two good choices, rather than one.
It's not like the existing master is better or worse, just....different. Subtle things like the use of reverb, the placement of the mandolin, fade duration on Sunshine in the Rain, that sort of thing. ARGH!! So torn!
This is a quandary. We'll keep you posted as we try to work it out.
