Mr Lynch has the files, he's adding gossamer wings and fairy dust, or whatever the heck it is that mastering engineers do.

Come to think of it, whilst I was googling recently I came across this Promo/Ad sort of video for a software plugin tool for mastering engineers that demonstrated some of the real sonic differences that mastering makes to your sound.

It's geeky, it's a little technical and a bit 'dry' and will at some point greatly praise whatever software it is he's using (i tuned out soz) but if you want to know what the Mastering process does, it's a good insight.

Whilst mixing 'Sliping through these blues' with Mr McGlynn last week, we were proudly showing off our new video for Downward Bound (see below a few articles or clik link).

He directed me to an art project he's involved with, Quantum Force; where the song recording is limited to 2 hours from inception to cut, no backtracking, no fixing, then the other guys add a video to it.

I was feeling pretty chuffed about our own efforts but now I see I have to lift my game. this is awesome.

What a beat.

Game on folks, I am gonna get some animation skills happening.

Hello my Boys, it's your old mate Roger again. I've gone ahead and organised some promotion for you again.

You can thank me after you've finsiehd handing'em out. Go on, get about it.

WOOT. Big ups to Michael at Vienna People for work on 'Slipping Through These Blues'. Looks like we're done.

Except for mastering.

oh.

And artwork.

Hmmm..

And pressing.

Ah.

Right.

Ok, still a bit to go.

As the title suggests, this is one wacky collection - ranging from Colonial Folk to Reggae via Japanese pop, all with Blues Harp. Yes, as a harp player, I have been able to go places where Harmonicas Fear To Tread.

We're so mutant we should have appeared in a Dr Who episode.

Enough of that, back to the grindstone. We gotta work harder if we want to earn a nice bottle of wine, or a coal license.

 Good On ya Barry! We are the Rum Corps and there ain't no doubt about it. Stand up NSW and be proud! We're the meanest, most venal, grubbiest, on-the-take, forked tongued, side-mouth talkingest, sons-of-guns in New Holland. Look upon our works Ye Mighty and Tremble. Also, a couple bucks extra will get you a good seat up the front. Anyone for more wine?

And to think it's the day after we released our video. Any connection?

Nope. We're just filled with the JOY of being a proud Sydneysider, in the Premier...er...Ex-premier state!
