Almost done.

Wow!

What I thought would only take an hour or 2 turned into an all day affair.

Ossie Bowe is a perfectionist!

Ever single wire and cable has to be neatly strapped together and then perfectly strapped to the desk frame out of the way. He took a great big jumble of cables , wires and power chords and made them all but disappear.
Of course when we fired the rig back up we had a problem with a couple pieces of gear not passing signal. It was quite late by then so we decided to shut it down and continue this week. I am sure that Mr. Bowe will figure it out.

However this did not hinder me from having a great session with Peter Peters on Sunday afternoon. We did a guide vocal for song #5 and re-did the scratch guitar track for song #6.
Peter also finally let me play him the first mix on the first 3 songs. He was quite impressed with the sound and is looking forward to doing some final editing on them. We both decided that the vocals on song #3 has to be re-done and that we are going to experiment with an array of microphones to try and catch it just right. We are getting together again on Thursday afternoon.

I also spent some time during the week doing some final tweaking and editing on the songs that are going to be Mastered. They sound awesome IMO. However because I cannot use my Lexicon reverb unit until Mr. Bowe is finished I still have not been able to finish the vocal tracks. I refuse to use D-Verb on a finished vocal, the Lexicon is Far superior sounding.Hopefully I will be able to finish them this week and send them off.
Starting to think of an album cover for my EP. I have a couple ideas........................
