Save What You Can

That's the title of the new album, and it looks like this:

Head over to the Music page to hear some samples!

IT IS DONE!

The bits are on the disc and the art is at the printer. Expect to see sample tracks up here in the next couple of days (and some of you out there can look for packages in the mail).

The end is nigh

Just one song left to mix down tonight, and a final mastering session tomorrow to fix any remaining glitches, and I'll be done. How do professional recording engineers do this day in and day out? Even doing it a couple of hours a day my head sometimes feels like it's about to explode. At this point I'm starting to wonder if everything I'm doing is just making it all sound worse.

And there's always the unpleasant surprises, like the clipping on that vocal that somehow didn't get noticed during any of the preceding stages, and now it's too late to fix. Or wait, did I introduce that somehow with something I just did? *crawls back into mixing hell*

One week...

...give or take. After some long sessions over the Thanksgiving break, I'm now halfway done with mastering. The album also now officially has a title, and Drey just sent me a first look at the cover art last week as well -- and it's fantastic!

So, five songs left to master, and final artwork, and then album #4 will be unveiled. Or unleashed. Or releashed?
