Web Clip 1a: An excerpt from the original mix of “Armadillo” by The Goat Family. When the band came in for mastering they had some concerns about the low end on their recording, particularly the sound of an authentic washtub bass. My opinion was that the bass had been over-compressed and boosted to the point that it dominated the entire right side of the mix. What you hear in this sample is the initial mastered version with a severe low-shelving cut. In addition I felt that many instruments in the mix were too compressed. This resulted in a loss of transients, and an overall dynamic flatness that was not suited to an acoustic string band recording.
