This is a blog post to Mozzie, a Filipino band founded by four of my cousins (until one left for undisclosed reasons).

YOU.
GUYS.
SHOULD.
GET.
A.
REFUND.

The content is absolutely wonderful but wow, the guys who did the recording really did a shitty job.

First, I found it absolutely frustrating to go through the masters and find not just the great takes but even the bad ones in the same goddamn folder. I know you're supposed to keep the bad takes as well BUT at least they should have at least put them in another folder.

Second, they should have recorded everything in fucking 32-bit. I find it difficult to work with a great vocal at 32-bit only to supplement it with a 16-bit track of FG's guitar. In addition, some of the drums are recorded at 24-bit! Uh, some consistency FUCKING PLEASE! If they didn't have any more HD space, then they should have bought more because they're the FUCKING studio!

Third, on a disc called "MASTERS" they should have at least put audio stems for each track so I can at least have an easier job making pans, adding effects, etc. instead of asking one of the band members take a considerable amount of time out of their life just to make me a text file of all the good takes so I put together one fucking audio track stem.

Finally, there's some great vocals in there. The only problem? The best vocal tracks have so much hiss in them, Pam must have been in a room full of fucking anacondas OR the recording engineer just didn't give a shit on how to fucking soundproof a goddamn recording booth. On top of that, some of the best vocal tracks are in FUCKING 16-bit! We are living in a world at 24-to-32-bit fucking bit and all they give is 16-bit? WTF?!

Jesus Christ, I can't wait for Fi's text files so I can already fix their album!
