Now, seriously... helping a friend get his PT rig up to version 8.
Then, to the circus with my kids and wife.
Yay!
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

got up at 10am, and from 10:30-12:30 mastered my friends acid techno track. 1 version with analogue only processing (chandler germ comps), one with the analogue plus some digital limiting and eq (the "club friendly" over limited version).
later in the day was working on my own techno track, specifically getting the drums to sound right.

Powering up to spend the day finishing mixes from my friend's 4-track record. Brought everything in a few weeks ago at 96K and have been mixing and editing it in Digital Performer. We'll also be re-recording vocals for two of the 16 songs over here today, and then once the mixes are approved this thing is done.
Third record I've worked on this month.

1. Wrote 3 letters of recommendation, 2 for students, 1 in support of someone's cool grant application to recover early recordings.
2. Fixed bizarre autotuned flute problem (I know, I know, but you asked) in a song.
3. Began reconstructing an unfinished mix from 2004 that was done in OS9, for which I no longer have the plugins and settings, but one rough bounce to go from.
4. Will soon take spouse out to lunch of her own choosing.

Putting clear coats on a guitar I'm painting. It's my first time doing this and I hope I don't fuck it up too badly.
Also maybe putting together some sound effects for a production of "Evil Dead: The Musical" that I'm sound-designing.

Sang the same line over and over and over again--when I finally went to throw out the bum takes, I counted 73 of them. The line is "Remove the mines," and I am still not happy with it. I'm going to have to stop now, though, and accept semi-defeat.
Then I remixed this one song which I just cannot get to sound as forceful as the others on my album, even though it is the most "rock" of all of them. I have ended up backing off on the limiting a little and boosting the electric guitars, snare, and vocals, but I'm still not totally happy.
Then I worked on the album cover, plus this banner ad that I'm going to put on my website when the thing comes out.

oh man. lets see.
edited music for a newly commissioned ballet
getting equipment together and doing paperwork for the sound reinforcement needs of a giant wankfest venue grandopening thingy that features 10 different performing arts groups here in town that i got stuck doing. also have to edit music for this too. will sleep whe the show's done in two weeks...
unpacked the free loaner backline gear (for the previously mentioned event) to make sure all is well, which the guitar and bass amps are great but the 5pc drum kit.... was completely out of tune (not a problem, i expected to have to work on it once i got the gear) but the reason why one of the rack toms was out of tune is that it was missing a lug (not a huge problem i got some extra lugs) and the weird proprietary yamaha stage custom nouveau fiberglass lug assembly thing (oh fuck, there's the problem, and a big problem at that) which i can't get in any stores here off the shelf, and the dude who provided the drums was like, "oh yeah we forgot to mention that, yamaha said they were sending the part we just haven't got it yet, just take the reso head off completely" right, that ain't gonna do it for this one music store guy, but thanks... ...well four piece kit it is then! hope no one minds. so long story long i am randomly getting paid to be a drum tech (and i am so not a drum tech)
continuing the backing up and reloading of windows process of my main recording computer, it's just that time, mainly because the computer was originally an internet/itunes/videogames/recording/do everything computer and is just bogged down with years of useless crap.... then i can get back to my ongoing/upcoming solo album and other music projects.
so yeah busy day/weekend, but at least it is book ended with some really good live shows. ridiculously awesome brass band last night and some beautiful low key folk tomorrow. funny how music always makes everything worth while.
and you Garges?
