Fun Fact: We started working on Blackbraid II only a month after we got done with Blackbraid I. However, instead of this one being done in only a couple months like the first record, this one took us an entire year to record, mix, and master. It was just as fun to work on this one as it was the first! It was double the length of the first album and there was a bunch of new elements that he added to this one.
The recording process went smooth with the rare hiccup here and there. The mixing and mastering on this one while fun was honestly a bit stressful due to the first album getting praise for its mix and master. I wanted to make this one sound similar to the first album but not exactly the same because that would’ve been boring. We found all new guitar tones, bass tones, and changed up the drums slightly too. We did keep many aspects of the first record though, mainly using the same reverbs to keep and improve on the atmosphere we created on the mix of the first record. After many hours and many revisions we landed on the final product and I couldn’t be happier with it!
