Yeah, me too.
So here we go, one or two final updates before the grand finale of updates. I say one or two, because it's very easy to think things are done when it comes to finishing an album, and then be quite wrong. Don't want a "Dewey Defeats Truman" moment. That's a historical metaphor kids, pay attention in school.
Anyway, here's the latest, straight from the horse's mouth's keyboard. The album is "done". I've mixed a first draft and sent a sample to the mastering house. Based on some recommendations the rather helpful engineer gave me, I'm remixing certain areas of the album. Incidently, if you've ever had to mix your own music (especially on medieval equipment) it becomes quite apparent why sound engineers are all rich. Mixing is soooooo tedious.
So hopefully I'll have a new and improved mix done in the next week or two. At that point I'll send the whole album off to get finished. If everything works out, the first version I get back will be awesome and no reworks will be needed. Then I'll put the album up on the page and start pushing it like crazy. Also it will be time to start planning the CD release party!
But now I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. On a semi-related note, in a few weeks we start recording the follow-up to this album, which you haven't even heard yet. Feast or famine around here.
I'm gonna sing the Doom song now....
