The push is on to finish this unit. The deadlines are guidelines and the guidelines are highly variable.

Big ups to the online mixing community who have been out there on the interwebs, offering good counsel.

There's this new thing called Top Down Mixing which is....lots of technical nerdery ...followed by oh? Then OH!

There's a limit to our art - a practical one, and thank heavens for that. We are not making Chinese Democracy here and iffen ya want it remixed, send me bux. www.paypal.me/stormcellarband.

I've been glad to let the limits of the world be as they are. I think we have the next single for the next album after this so...i gotta crack on with it.

 

16 years of production. Every year. That's something to smile about. We're lucky to be able to do it.
We're not quite there yet for Basilisk but we're close and it's been a hoot!

Entropy is a factor.

As we work towards the completionof Basilisk, using as many parts of the Basilisk as we can find, we've reached back as far as last century for some equipment...which reverted to Japanese after a few minutes of power in its circuits for the first time in years.

Between lag issues, double hits and our desire to work with what we have to hand, I have a slowly dissolving song or two that refuse to die. I'm happy to give'em a miss but it's a band right? so back to the mines to fix it. If it can be fixed. Can it be fixed? is it worth fixing?

This arbitrary deadline I have set is....arbitrary. But useful. Gotta get it done to get it done, to paraphrase Bill.

Trying again. Listen out for the shrieks and howls when it goes wrong.Aaaaaahhh!!! It's the Basilisk!

Everybody wants to add something. I rather wish they would, as then we could be finished.

Notwithstanding the fact that I am due 2 vocals and 2 X lyrics...umm....

Mixing/Mastering/Writing/Recording simultaneously is this circular breathing process that's like mixing an escher painting.

Usually, we gather mixing notes together as we get towards final mixing. But songs are still popping into (or out of?) existence and I am not done with bits that I need to be done with before we can make notes.

A few options. Hoping something will crystallize soon.
