Session XV: THE ALBUM HAS BEEN RELEASED!

That’s right folks.  After all of the excitement, the album got finished, all glitches were repaired and the album has been released.  You can download it FOR FREE at http://www.donontheweb.bandcamp.com.

Thank you all for following the progress of this album!  I learned a lot of really important lessons in this process.  One of the things I am planning to do for the next release is to either downgrade to Adobe Audition 1.0 or to just try another software program.  I feel like Adobe 2.0 was just way too taxing and I’ve had more issues using this program than I cared to have.  Hey, you live and you learn.

Again, thanks so much for following the progress of “Planes, Trains, Crickets and Central Air”.  This will be the place to follow the progress on all upcoming recordings so when I start a new one, we’ll start it all over again!  What a crazy trip this one was.  Thanks again and enjoy the music!

Session XIV: Houston, We Have A Problem!

Ok, so it’s not a terribly HUGE problem but its definitely something thats gonna set me back just a little bit.  It’s a good thing I’ve been giving this thing a lot of attention as far as listening back to it over and over again.  Upon giving it a careful listen last night, I found that one of the songs has a couple of digital pops in the vocal track.  This really sucks.  Luckily, its a song that is easy to do for me so doing the vocal track again shouldn’t be that bad.  This is what I fucking hate about digital recording.  I’ve had this issue a few times in the past and there doesn’t seem to be a great solution for this from what people tell me.  It’s almost like it’s one of those things that is inevitable when doing home recording on a PC I guess.  I guess I can consider myself lucky that of all the songs recorded only one of them has this issue and that its on a vocal track and not on a guitar track.  THAT would’ve made it more of a bitch to fix.

I will be tackling this issue tonight and tomorrow, mix it down and then the album will FINALLY be ready to go.  I’m so pumped to have this thing done.  I am also going to be doing some digital liner notes to go along as a companion to the album and that is something else I’ll be working on over the next few days.

Stay tuned ya’ll…
