Done (3)
So much has happened since Done (2) that I don't even know where to start. I almost feel like there should have been Done (2.1) and (2.2)s.
First: I cleaned the office.
No, I guess that's not a very good place to start since it didn't happen first (more like third or sixth), and is also not the most important things.
Again: Since I last posted: We:
Discovered a mistake in the album art: I'd left off the recording credit. I fixed it, went to Cravedog, spent an hour with Matt sorting things, distilling, chatting, and waiting for progress bars. All of this is going to push back the date for getting the CDs back, but we'll still make the beginning of PDX POP, which is the important thing. Then, I came back here and Cary and I went through and waded through a murky world of lost plugins, changed R-eq volume settings and nearly, but not quite identical tracks to generate what will hopefully be the last set of songs that need to go to mastering. We went with: The existing versions of Come Too Far, Welcome Home, You Make Me Worry, Farewell Joel Dean, PS, Angel, and Act of Violence; the new mix of We Could Do Anything that we gave Jon last night, and a new, finally properly corrected, version of Tired Eyes. It seemed at a couple of points like we might go crazy, but I think we came out of it stronger and pretty confident that the tracks are right.
We watched some West Wing and ate dinner and then I just spent the last couple of hours doing booking e-mails for summer tour.
The upside is that the art is out of our hands and the (hopefully final) mixes are off to Jon. Before we know it, we'll be done.
