PETS -

Holy crap. PETS' song "backseat" is being played at a local dance club. radical. Last night we mixed up 3 songs even better than before. I think we nailed them. Looks like we will be recording some new songs and re-recording some other songs.

Im super glad I stopped by the loft to see Chris Woodhouse. He showed me some gain staging principles and made me rethink how ive been tackling my mixes. Now i set my 8track faders at unity, the compressor at about 0 and then the volume knobs on the channels on the mixer at unity, and turn up the trim to match. Its hard to put into words, but the mixes came out clearer this time. i wish i had done the Munia recordings last month a little better. Got a little ahead of my self i think.

Thats ok though it sounds pretty good still.

In other news The Secretions came to me for some demo work. This coming sunday we will be making some new recordings. Im excited, mainly cause of what Chris said about gain staging. I realy want to keep my signals clean and flowing. Plus its loud punk music.

As for the Audio Calendar which still hasnt seen its first release, im thinking that i might change the format a little. Quarterly release maybe? winter/spring 2004? it might make more sence, and i'd be able to put more songs onto one cd instead of 12 different releases. Yes, in fact this is the new idea. a few songs from each band with plenty of liner notes. ok.
