i mean, i've been working on this thing for a long time...
little by little...
and i thought it was all ready, but i was wrong! 
 
i'm having Falcon Eddy Mastering Studio do the final mastering on this..
and thru the process (falcon eddy is being SO patient), i keep finding things i just have to change, 
and i guess the lesson is, when producing yourself,
 
get as far away from it as you can get!!!
 
LOL
then, come back.
 
having someone else do the mastering sure helps me wear the other hat.
 
 
last song is getting proofed tonight....
final 16-bit redbook standard files being uploaded for cd duplication tomorrow night.
 

Congrats!

Hi,
Whoooottsss ... when do we get to hear it?

 
well, i've posted demo level versions of the entire thing right here in the songs forum, 
off and on over the last 3-4 years..
 
 
i'm uploading the final files tonight,
to CDBaby,
for digital sales and distribution
and to the cd duplicators,
for physical cd's to sale.....
 
they sound really sweet.
 
album artwork is done,
professionally mastered,
it's a sort of 'concept' album, so it has a running thread going thru all the songs...
 
even includes a collaboration with WOOKIEE, who gets co-writing credits on that one, it was his music and arrangement to begin with,
and i added guitars to it, as an instrumental..
 
but i was so enamored with the structure of the song, i heard a vocal treatment, 
wrote lyrics and melody, and went to town!!
LOL
 
it's the closing song on the album.
 
 
 
......album is called "Stay".
 
 

Congrats Bat!! I've heard a lot of your tunes and all are rocking stuff.....very good IMO.

heh! well thanks bill....
 
but doing this album,
getting it all pulled together, in one cohesive event,
has been trickier than my previous albums have been......
 
even the first one, which was for an actual record company (now defunct.... of course!) wasn't as tough as this one.
 
 
this one covers a pretty tough chapter in the life,
maybe that's what made it harder.

well, uploaded EVERYTHING to cdbaby today...
it's a bit of a weird process,
but the software they use, for you to dump your individual files into,
builds an iso image, lets you burn a 'test' cd right off the image it is uploading, 
and check it all, before finalizing the upload..
THAT is kinda cool!
 
if anybody wants to talk about the cdbaby side of it,
feel free to throw out questions or PM me
