Album Chatter While Compiling

[billroper]

My other computer is busily compiling the new versions of the Stingray libraries, so I'll take the opportunity to natter while it's busy.

Some of you know that I've been working on an album of my own music (as opposed to all the other people that Gretchen and I have recorded) to be released at OVFF, if we're lucky. Dorotha Biernesser came in last weekend from DC and laid down the female backup vocals which is almost all of the parts that we'll need to finish. This means that it's time to engage in some serious trial mixing.

Naturally, I'm running behind. We've gotten two tracks worth of test mixes done with twelve to go (and one track to be completely re-recorded). Tomorrow, we're meeting Barry and Sally Childs-Helton in Rensselaer, Indiana to get our portable recording gear back in hand before Torcon and I've promised them something to listen to.

It's going to be an entertaining 18 hours or so.

If the pieces parts arrive at OVFF unassembled, I would be glad to be part of the assembly crew (provided that I make it to OVFF). S

Thanks. I'm hoping that we'll get these back completely assembled, but we'll see...

record at Torcon?

Will you be bringing your portable gear to Torcon? I'm thinking harmonies should be possible.

Ooh, ooh: more filk to waste money on invest in. (Checks wallet.)

One more reason for me to be planning on going to OVFF.... I really hope we can make it this year!

I'm looking forward to seeing you at Torcon!

Good luck with the test mixes :-)

Bringing the gear to Torcon is definitely in the plans. Which means I'll have to copy all of the ADATs, just to be safe...

Oh good! Glad to hear you are doing your own album! High time. Is "Grim Roper" the last one you did??

I hope by the time it is out we'll have money again. :-)
Good luck!

[billroper]

Yup, that was the last time around.

I'm hoping that Ed's new job works out well too, although obviously you have a keener interest in this. :)
