Never mind. You're only as young as the woman you feel.

Yay!

I'd take one!
Most bands here press in the Czech Republic, good quality and prices; however considereng the bad $-€ exchange rate this is no alternative for you.
If you have concrete plans, I can ask around for some good pressing plants in the US, most bands that make "my" music are also only small bands, so the usual amount is 300-500 vinyl copies - 500 for the better-known ones. The sensible minimum to press is about 100, if you make fewer the cost ratio gets really bad.

Cindy Blackman was built in '59, so she's closer to your age than mine - and you find pictures which show she's got some wrinkles.

DAY TWO.

Phase one is finished. We spent another eight hours working on scratch tracks - the guitars are there as guideposts while the drum tracks are perfected. And perfect they are. My old friend Kelly did a great job guiding us through the process, and Chris had all new heads on his drums, and perfectly tuned. And his playing was fantastic! Eighteen songs with great drums, waiting for the guitars to be retracked and perfected.

My turn is next. We start redoing and perfecting the bass tracks sometime this week. Kelly is borrowing several different basses. I'm happy with mine, but he wants to try some different sounds. It's harder work than some might imagine, but it's also a lot of fun.

Too, bad you weren't able to do the last subsim meet. We went to Bon Jovi's cousin's recording studio

at Sonalysist. You would have like it.

Jimbuna · 11-06-11, 07:39 AM

Sounds very cool Steve...best of luck with your session

Tchocky · 11-06-11, 08:27 AM

Looking forward to having a listen!

MothBalls · 11-07-11, 07:05 PM

This is awesome. We all get to be a part of history.

When Pink Floyd V2.0 started, we got to see the first pics of them in the studio, a Subsim exclusive.

Seriously, best of luck with the project(s). Really looking forward to "The Final Cut".

DAY TWO-AND-A-HALF

I went to the studio alone today, to start fixing and finalizing bass tracks. Unfortunately I didn't have my processor with me, which messed everything up. The first day I had recorded with one of my two Peavey six-strings, going through a Digitech bass processor, which lets you program different sounds. The second day I used the other Peavey, which has aftermarket EMG pickups, again with the processor. Today I tried a borrowed Fender Jazz Bass. The sound was good, but several of the songs require the six-string. So we spent some time trying to get the right sound, and then made one song perfect, drums and bass both. Later in the day I went by our practice place and picked the processor up, so Thursday should be more productive.

No pictures, as it was just the two of us, but Chris the drummer put up a new one from last Saturday, and it has Clay in it, even though his back is to the camera.

Clay the lead guitarist, Kelly the engineer, Steve the bass player and Charles the singer/songwriter. Chris the drummer isn't in this one, since he took the picture, but there are lots of him anyway.

I can tell exactly which song we're playing. We're doing Clay's song 'Lady In Black', and the intro and exit have no drums, which is why Chris was free to take the picture. The other clue is that that intro is why I wanted a six-string in the first place. I play a run that goes from the very top if the high C-string to almost the very bottom of the low B-string - almost four octaves. So this was taken at the very start of that run, when I'm playing up near the top of the neck.

Very interesting Steve, you are going to load up so it can Stream down,

Sailor Steve · 11-08-11, 10:53 AM

When it's finished. Actually Kelly has a great video camera and obviously the wherewithall to combine video and sound, so he's thinking of making a video with clips from some of the songs before we're done. Just a taste.

Gerald · 11-08-11, 08:02 PM

Once you have done the video finished, you are known as the big in the business, you can take out fat contracts and go tour worldwide,

One can only dream.

So when your dreams are your reality, and nothing else is left? Look that up in the dictionary and you'll find a picture of me.

Gerald · 11-09-11, 10:02 AM

Jim is right, dreams are a part of our life as you know, and dreams are to be fulfilled .... be sure to have the page updated, so we know what is happening on the music front,thanks
