An exciting blend of progressive, modern, pop, and alternative rock from Seattle, WA. Second Nature uses heartfelt lyricism, stellar musicianship, and powerful grooves to create a sound that is both timeless, and new. Second Nature is: Rob Fowler: guitars and lead vocals Mike Conley: bass Ron Turner: drums Second Nature is currently seeking bookings and professional management in the Seattle area A note about the recordings: Care was taken to present an accurate impression of the band. All tracks were recorded "one take" at our rehearsal space, with the guitars and bass direct to disk, and the drums and vocals 'live". The vocals were then re-recorded at my home studio (DCRP here on Soundclick). The daw platform was Nuendo 2, recorded 12 tracks (with 4 spare) with 2 Presonus Firepods (at 24/44100). Waves Silver and Platinum plugs were used for the basic processing, along with PSP, and a few VST's used where needed. 17 mixes were done based on the original rough mix. No editing was done to the original tracks! The bass and kick were sidechain compressed, and the vocal tracks were "automated" for volume only. Mastering was done in Wavelab 4 using the Waves Mastering Series, dc offsets of .015 eliminated, and 1 second blank intros inserted, along with proper fades. Maybe someday a "name" producer (Terry Brown or Micheal Wagner anyone?) will do a much better job, but for now...this is US...
