Back from a somewhat frustrating mix - first we had to make the adjustments to last night's work. Then the Bacharach show is so peculiar - I got the overture to Promises sounding halfway decent, but decided to come back to it at the end. But the entire first act of this show is a complete but cut-down Promises, Promises. So, not only do we have to mix each song (and there are, I don't know, eighteen of them), we then have to cut out all the narration and dialogue and that takes forever. In fact, we're only up to Whoever You Are - and we're having to do a lot of fixing of pitch (can't do it all - no time for that) and it's just very slow going and more than a little irritating for the engineer. So, we resume tomorrow night, but the plan of being finished with all three by then is done - we now have to work on Thursday night and them maybe even one other night, although WHAT that night is going to be is anyone's guess. The Sondheim however is done and is going to the mastering guy tonight.
