Dear Bonfire.... all my life people have been drawn to me for advice, sympathy & venting their feelings. This is flattering indeed- yet very exhausting at times. This has prompted me to possibly start an 'Advice - Blog' akin to Dear Abbey or Ann Landers newspaper columns. I'd field questions & try to give 'enlightenment' to those seeking answers. Maybe when the weather cools down a bit I'll start this Blog up. Dream Secret's CD.... I'm dragging getting my parts finished up on our CD in progress. There are a few reasons for this; 1) In our studio-area is a cat-litter box that sometimes stinks so bad that I hallucinate. 2) This heat & humidity sucks out all my physical/creative energies. 3) A few of the discs containing basic tracks got corrupted & I had to mix everything on them to my Masterlink [an extremely high-resolution 2 track digital recorder] This was the only way to salvage all our work on those bad disks. Luckily I was able to save all the data although they are now 2 track 'sub-mixes.' Not exactly how I intended to record these tracks - however there was no sound degradation so we're cool. That's one of the down-sides to digital recording. Data can become skunked for no apparent reason. We're going to go back to analog-tape for some of the recording work. Tape is not a perfect recording-medium-however it does sound better than digital for some things plus there are other advantages as well. (Technical stuff that I won't go into here) Hope everyone out there is having a lovely Summer!
