Worked on some piano parts for a vocal tune i've been tinkering with for a couple of days. Sort of taking a break from my record before the final push to get it finished.

Arrived a little late around 12:20 and was surprised to see the whole big band in for the sound cheak instead of just the rhythm section. Very quickly cabled-up, patched in, laid out tracks and set levels for 22 mics worth of big band.
Moved my car out of the metered spot, ate lunch with student employee, back to school. Searched for flights online, let someone make up the mid-term while grading the rest of the mid-terms, built a couple new Speak-On cables for the headphone boxes, watched 15min of taped Robot Chicken, went to class.
Returned mid-terms, taught students about various job titles and career paths in the audio industry, headed up to the studio. Final adjustments on big band, then tracked two takes each of 5 tunes, 22-tracks at 24/88.2. Forgot to empty trash so I didn't have the extra 15-gigs I'd expected so we were cut off on one take that weren't so good anyway, whew. 9:30pm or so, the big band finished up and headed out, indie-film director arrived. We talked and ate junk food for a while, then setup to record xylophone parts for 6 score cues.
Finished up around 2am, headed home, time for bed.

Kind of a relaxing day, no?

At my day gig I started building a new server, a VMware ESX (linux) core that will eventually have 5 Windows Server 2003 sitting on top running SQL, Exchange, etc.

Went home and decided to breathe some life into the myspace page.

Before bed rehearsed with wife for a gig March 4, the semi-annual GeorgeandBobathon, aka "Sing Don't Destroy" at Freddy's Backroom in Brooklyn; each artist will be doing one Bob Dylan song and one George Harrison song. We have selected: "Nothing Was Delivered" (via the Byrds and Sweetheart of the Rodeo), and "Your Love is Forever" (from the wonderful 1979 George Harrison album).

Aside from the usual 9to5, I mixed a song I wrote and recorded myself last week, going for a Everybody Knows This is Nowhere feel for it. Not much else to report.

Set up to record sections from my last theater show, so the director can send a DVD with the clips for a potential out of town gig....

... but I was sleepy, and ended up napping with my cat on the sofa. The right call!

Did a little work on the new theatre sound design, show goes into tech 3/20 so I'm really behind.

Remixed the Dueling Pianos demo, changed one picture edit, client approved it, gonna update the DVD with the new picture today and ship the thing out.

Watched the McCartney at Abbey Road thing. Twas cool.

Discussed marketing and sales for a new effects disc.

Ate pudding, watched "Lost" and went to bed.

Day job.
Vague, half-assed cleanup of a band practice the night before.
Mixed Tractor Sex Fatality (which I just realized I f***ed up this morning)
Beat my head against a drum track I'm trying to fix.

I was up late doing transfers from my friends' DPS16 into Digital Perfomer. Out of 30 songs, only 3 left to go. I also took some time to test my new Powerbook's simultaneous recording capabilities - 16 tracks no sweat. Nice.

Spent 6 hours setting up for a 7 piece band, who came in and did 3 takes in about 15 minutes, then left. Spent another 3-4 hours tearing down/cleaning up. A lot of work for a 15 minute session. It was fun though because they were badass musicians

so, i dropped my toddler at school then came home and recorded a VO, mixed it with its music bed and emailed the commercial spot mp3 off to Texas, then picked my toddler up [all in a 90 minute span] then dealt with toddler til naptime and during nap tweaked a final mix of a hip-hop track and printed it and made some copies on disc....then went off to work in the evening doing AV for a non-profit which involved setting up 1 lectern mic, 2 wireless mics for Q&A and showing 2 DVDs on a movie screen....

that was an out-of-the-ordinary day for me. usually, i am just a stay-at-home-Dad, which is tiring enough.....but trying to get myself ready to rejoiin the land of productivity when the toddler starts longer school days....
