Drums: Editing pt. 3

I finished the second round of the drum editing. After a couple of rounds of listening I bounced the tracks into complete songs, and now I'm done with that.

Next, I copied the drum tracks into a project file and tried a couple of different orders for the songs. After some trials, I think I found a suitable order where the faster and slower songs take their turns in a satisfactory manner. This is, of course, very preliminary as I have nothing else than the drum tracks to work with. It might be so that I need to change the order later on.

What next? I think that I have made a decision to use two panned rhythm guitar tracks on the album instead of one mono. This makes the processing of the stereo image so much easier during the mixing, especially as I intend to use synth and organ tracks panned in middle in most of the songs. In the two previous "band" solo albums I have used only one guitar and some phase manipulation methods to widen the track in left-right field. I will discuss the guitar part later in this blog.
