Ok, this is a very random post. The blog has been dormant for what ... 3 years ? My real life has been so busy I've had no time to engage in it on-line. But as I've been working on getting the studio put back together, I thought , what the heck, blog about it. So we're just hitting the reset button and rockin on. Eventually I'll update the blog links and web site. But right now I'm gonna riff about progress on the new CD and whatever comes to mind.
Here's today's studio pic:
Aye yi yi, what a complicated mess. This is truly putting humpty dumpty back together again. To make a long sad story short, I tracked a bunch of songs on Radar, DA-88 and old ProTools (OS9) back in the day and have yet to finish the production on them. My goal is to finish 10 songs for the "new" album - "What Words Can't Say" by the end of October, just in time for Christmas.
The problem is when we moved it's almost impossible to get all this stuff functional again. MTC. MMC. digital patch bays, punch blocks, patch bays - all a mess. The challenges are many fold, highly technical, and on-going. The amp on one of my Mackie HR24 died, so I've got to get that repaired. Now the console randomly does & doesn't stay powered. It's a Mackie D8b, nobody works on them anymore and seems like it's next life will be as a boat anchor.
The good news is I'm making progress transfering everything to my new Pro Tools Rig. Here's a screen shot from one of the songs, "Breakthrough":
Sounds great, doesn't it? I'll keep this blog updated on the rest of the production. Till next time, via con Dios.
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
;O)
