Masters arrive.

21st December, the Masters have arrived.

I kinda don't think that this album will be ready for X-Mas.
Or New Years.
I'm thinking mid to late January.
Everything seems to stop around this time of year.

So, Friday past I was setting up for a session with Tommy Goodwyn and a new drummer and Alfred Kenny on Bass.
After I had all the mics up I went into the control room to start my rig.
As I enter the room I hear something ticking. Tick, tick, tick.......
I don't have a clock in here.
The air conditioner is leaking water down on the left side of my desk!!!!!!

Patch bay
Lexicon
Digi 002
HHb CD burner
Tascam CD burner
Rosetta converter
5x Glyph hardrives.

Luckily I had just turned on the AC so there was not too much water.
My new security camera monitor and switcher got the most of it.
I cleaned everything as well as I could and turned on the other AC and put a fan in the CR to dry up what was left.
I didn't turn anything on until Sunday afternoon, everything seems to be fine.

La De Da.

See Ya........

That's it for the year boys and girls.

Peters music is finished Mastering and will be sent to Nationwide for duplication.
His artwork for the album cover is already there.
He should have his album by mid January.
All in all it was a great learning experience. Both Peter and myself enjoyed the entire experience and I look forward to doing more. But for now, I want to work on some of my stuff.

Besides for a little work on my stuff and an occasional jam the studio is closed until next year.

Also, I am booked out next year until the end of April.

Have a great X-Mas and a wonderful new year.

Later.

Its all over.......

The fat lady has sung.

I sent the last 3 songs to the Mastering house last night.

All that's left to do is approve the Masters and get the album artwork done.

Tom Waltz(Waltz Audio) has already sent 4 of the songs, by tonight I should have the rest. So, tomorrow night Peter and I are getting together to listen to the Masters so that he can decide if he is happy with them. I am sure he will be, Waltz is the man.

Then, Peter will decide the song sequence and Tom will create the Master album CD.
Then Tom will send 3 copies of the Master to me and I will send 2 of those copies to Nationwide so that they can start getting the duplication and printing started.

6 Months from when we started this project........... W O W !!!!!!

next.
