That was our motto in the band Infinigon back in the day. I was reminded of it over winter break when I saw my friend and collaborator John Neumann. This weekend I did a new batch of mixes on the tracks for my forthcoming record, continuing to drill down on the vocal mixes and effects, tweaking the reverb and chorus, and getting a consistent sound between tracks. I think I\u2019ve gotten to the point where they are pretty much there: good to listen too, nicely blended but not too muddy. The new mixes can be heard here:<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve mentioned before I\u2019m going to do the final mixing and mastering at my friend\u2019s studio, and toward that end I\u2019ve been writing software for him in exchange for studio time. I\u2019ve been busy working on an updated version of his music library player the last few weeks. It\u2019s almost done so there\u2019ll be a post about that soon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the deep cold continues outside. I\u2019ve found that if I can keep my feet warm I\u2019m pretty happy. My kids got me a new pair of slippers for xmas, which helps a lot, and Jeannie got me some nice warm socks too, which helps more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
