This week had a couple big gigs and some last minute Holiday pressures, so in order to give my hands a break (that they needed) I’ve put this project on hold for a couple days. I think I’ll still be able to get everything out by the 31st, but if I’m a little late, it’s not going to bother me. I’d rather have a good product, than a rushed one.

One of the things that I’ve realized as I’ve worked through this project is that I’m a terrible engineer. I’ve posted two draft recordings in previous entries, and I can’t seem to get things to sound any better. Maybe it’s the editing software I’m using or maybe it’s the way I’m recording things, or maybe it’s that I just don’t have a engineer’s mindset. I have an idea of what sound I would like, but I just can’t get there.
So that puts me at a place where I’m not that concerned about the recording quality of the whole project. And it’s not that I don’t care, but I know my limitations. But it does give me a good idea to continue this project as way of drafting tunes, and maybe at the end of the year next year I can record everything professionally. hmmm…. we’ll see.

Merry Christmas Everybody!!
