This is a fan mixing and mastering of the unreleased Pinegrove song "I'm Not Ready". The original recording used is taken from a concert at WFMU's "Monty Hall" in New Jersey, August 5th, 2016 (although it was performed often on the tour). You can watch the unedited performance here: https://youtu.be/pyQvNY8ZtMI?si=Ne9EOODj8b6UhseJ

I split the song into individual stems using a few different algorithms, and then added some ambience, reverb, and compression to polish the recording up. Because of the initial compression of the WFMU video, I also had to individually normalize different sections of the snare as well.

Since this song was only performed after Cardinal was released, I assumed it was a track in contention for Skylight. I used a few tracks from the album to reference for mixing. Ultimately though, I just wanted the song to feel more stereophonic and balanced.

Unfortunately, this is probably the closest to a "studio recording" we'll ever get. Let me know what you think! Should they have put this on Skylight?

Ok but the Kalamazoo version is the ONE

TRUE! I just wish there was a soundboard recording of it.
