After weeks of trying to get Mr Wizards box happening, we sorted it.
A new EP from our Clarkesdale recordings is due out shortly.
New studio album still underway.
Lockdowntime gonna start again.
Downtime now starting up for season 3 shortly.
CRAB festival....we'll see.
Yeah we're active.
Can't blog. Mixing.
Technical issues abound.
Fox is on Mac. Coggers ditto.
Theo's win...10? Mr Wizard is on Win 8.
Ye gods.
We are sooo close. Got a problem with Theo's monitoring.
Patience is called for. Happy Vaxxing! Where's my space lasers, and also, can we all have the same O/S.
Waiting for one of the chaps to heal up from some dentistry and then we are ON.
The tech stuff is a bit wobbly but we're basically now able to do guide tracks, record and mix online.
We have setup up an input and capture system at each persons end. Basically, we can record our parts, merge them and then listen and edit. Together.
Of course as lockdown in Sydney heads towards a conclusion...lol...but we still have a few weeks.
And now that we're able to basically do what we did, what's on?
We have three 'garden's growing at the moment, maybe 4.
1. Clarkesdale.
The recording we made over there are being mixed. By an anonymous person (me!, more on that later) That's likely to yield an EP.
2. Salon Project
This is Stormcellar in other universes. It will yield an album with a working title of 'weather on other planets'
3. Awakening Project
The first studio album for Stormcellar Collective.
Six tracks in mixing and fixing, six more that were in development before lockdown.
4. Mr Wizards Lockdown Batch and More
As we have filled up an album's worth, anything new goes to something else.
Next Steps
We'll be doing as much of this as we can online, and sharing it, keeping people company. Join us on fb/yt for Lockdowntime as soon as you see it livestreaming.
When Lockdown is over, we'll be back out, vaxed and ready to play :)
Back to the Garage! (for the drums) We're gonna finish this album, one way or another..
What a heck of a job Mr C has done. After weeeeeks of setup and trying we are now actually able to mix and record, online, one part at a time.
We're able to share the mixing screen, listen and comment, just like we were at a physical studio. This is amazing.
The tech has come a long way since we used a TASCAM 1800 to record Hired Guns
.
Oh and I am mixing! Using Reaper. Thanks Mr Lynch.
I am cutting my teeth on the stuff we recorded in Clarkesdale, Mr C is working on the new recordings, Mr Wizard is prepping adjusted arrangements on new songs.
It's weird, but it's working!
With luck, when we have got through the last of the tech issues we'll run another Lockdowntime.
Good Times at the end times!
