Walbum - Week XVII

December 30th, 2006

Recording SetupI brought my Fostex home with me for the Holidays, and as the week begins I’m thinking of downloading some editing software and finishing this album on my family’s computer. I have a couple tunes that I’ve finished back in Boston and I’m knocking out tunes left and right while I’m here.
The recording setup I have is practically a silent one, so I can do recordings even while people are asleep. I also can edit at any hour during the day if I use headphones, which is probably a good idea since my Parent’s speakers aren’t so great.

As I get ready to head back to Boston, I’m noticing that things aren’t fully ready yet. I have 5 tunes that are fully recorded, but I’ve got nothing loaded into the computer for editing, mixing & mastering. hmm….

The truth is, even though I gave myself an extension on this project, I would like to finish it up on time. I’ve been having anxiety dreams lately: performances where I have no music and other pleasant things like that.

Okay, so things aren’t going to happen for 12/31/06. New deadline: 01/31/07. 31 extra days to clean up my mess.

I’ve got 7 tunes in the can, but I might have to re-record a couple tracks here in there. Then I need to mix it down and faux-master it. How did I get this far behind on everything? I should have been at this place around Thanksgiving. I need to have a talk with myself about procastination.

Happy New Year Everybody!!
