ABSTRACT
AutoZero is a three-piece indie band from London. Hero is a rock song based on classic rock instrumentation – drums, bass, rhythm/power guitars and vocals. The song was recorded overnight at Soho Studios, London. Although offering state-of-the-art mixing facilities, Studio 1 (where Herowas recorded), has a very small live room – just big enough for a drum kit. This small room is evident on the drum recordings. The limited time – 7 hours – in which this production was recorded is another contributor to the fact that the raw material was less than ideal. As with many other recordings done in limited time, much of the mix efforts focused on correcting rather than elevating.
