Wing Commander Album’s Choir Recording Next Week, Expert Audio Engineer Added to the Mix

Greetings all. I just wanted to post an update about what's happening with this amazing project. I am about to head out to Salt Lake City next week to record the choir parts for the music. I will then have everything recorded and ready for mixing.

However, a wonderful opportunity has presented itself. Bruce Botnick, who was film composer Jerry Goldsmith's recording and mixing engineer (Alien, Star Trek; Motion Picture, etc), has VOLUNTEERED to mix the entire project! I've worked with Bruce before on some projects when I lived in LA and he is indeed amazing. However I was stunned when I asked how much he might charge for mixing the Wing Commander tracks he smiled and just said, "don't worry about it, I just want to make beautiful music with you". Needless to say I was stunned and thrilled at the same time.

The only possible down side is our schedules don't coincide until early January. I'd wanted to get all this out to you before the holidays, but I don't think we can pass on this opportunity. Plus he said he would not only have stereo mixes for us but would throw in Dolby Atmos versions of the music for free for anyone who would have the capability of listening back in that format.

So, I've decided to take Bruce up on his offer. I think overall the benefits outweigh any delay in the project's culmination.

Again, thanks to all of you for your wonderful support. Looking forward to sharing the beautiful sounds when all is said and done.

Musically yours,

George Like
