Jukebox Kings, "Runaway"

This is a project I did for my school, the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences. The artist is my friend's band, Jukebox Kings, covering Del Shannon's "Runaway". I ran the session with help from a few friends. I was the engineer and the mixer. The session was recorded through an analog Neotek Elite console, and mixed in Pro Tools 10. A few tricks I used included the static intro, which I found in my school's sound library. I EQ'd the intro guitar to sound like it was being played through a car radio, then snapped it to the actual EQ once the full band came in. I used parallel compression on both the drums and vocals to beef them up. I added a little delay to the vocals during the choruses and outro to simulate a backing vocal.
