GOMORRAH

Edited/dubbed-up the vocal/Squier Strat/MIDI drum parts in CE5. Everything goes so much more smoothly when the PC decides to behave itself - just sayin'...

The track is ready to mix/master and it's HUGE!!!. You're going to love it - or absolutely hate it...;-).

The track bears a very passing resemblance to this...

As for the other tracks, I've had to make a few executive decisions. I'm kinda running out of time and I have a lot of tracks to work on.The next few months could be a little difficult what with business travel, holidays and such, so I have to be realistic about what I can achieve.

So here goes...

• MARE NOSTRUM - I will record choral vocal parts for this track next week - definitely. I have a "window" which I plan to exploit to the full, and this track is window-shaped...
• FCA BOOTS - I'm not going to bother with vocals on this - just go straight to mix/master stage
• TROPES AND MEMES - ditto
• EVERYBODY CALLS ME DARREN - I'm going to abandon this track. It's a silly idea that doesn't actually add any value to the album. In fact, possibly quite the reverse..

So that leaves me with three tracks to work on over the next month. I plan to release an EP at some stage in June, so I will concentrate on the tracks for that initially. Stay tooned for further news...

Never Had It To Lose It - 111014

Due to an unexpected turn of events (more a case of "I told you I was going to Dublin today - you never listen..."), I managed to have a brief, but productive tracking session this morning. I recorded 10 Squier Strat parts on the Tascam 2488, via the Line 6 Pod 2.0. Audio cleanup in AA3 and inserted into the relevant project file in CE5.

I should be able to squeeze in another two tracking sessions before heading to Sweden next week.

Go, me!

Watching The News With The Sound Off - 230214

Mixed and mastered the track in CE5 and AA3. Had to fix some clicks which appeared when tracking from VST plugin to audio. Mostly sorted, although some vestiges remain. Nothing to fret about.

Another track completed. That makes two, by the way...;-).
