It sounds great.
It takes a lot to write, record, and complete an album - congratulations!

Hey Bats,
Only heard one soundcloud clip, but very nice.
Looks like a multi musician adventure.
What part are you doing? Vocals, guitars,..?
Like so many of you guys, your releases are polished and full spectrum. Professional. Everything I try to do ends up like garbled mud.
Don't want to look over my shoulder and think Reaper is to blame when I should have been using Sonar.
Anyway, great production.
John

hey johnkenn! thanks for listening...... yes, i'm doing everything on the album, except for the live drums. as far as DAWs go, i think they all do adequate jobs, the important thing is what goes into the mic. another new one from the new album: "Yesterday" "Yesterday" https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/yesterday

so, this album has live drums. my last two albums, were a combination of programmed superior drummer tracks, and some loops created in Sony Acid.... those tracks sound awesome, but of course, are missing some of the sav voir faire that real drums have...... now, this guy that did the tracks for me, he's a pro.. plays gig stem in DFW area, plays for the local symphony, can play any style.... and when he did his tracks, he was playing along to my demos, which were done on top of a drum machine. he managed to put all kinds of swing and feel on top of those very straightforward drum machine grooves, and to me, that's the testament of a really good drummer..... somebody that can, when force to, play dead on time, even with a metronome, but still make you want to groove. bad @ss.

here's a pic of the original artwork i did for the album cover: https://postimg.cc/image/9zxgwzpjh/ it's acrylic on glass. i used two 12"x12"pieces of glass separated by rubber bumpers at the corners..... made about a 1/4" gap between the glass... i used gold rice paper as the base, and painted the text on one pane of glass, which is on the top... and the bat on the 2nd pane of glass, which is in the middle. outside, using a DSLR camera, in natural sunlight, i got real shadows, over a period of time and rotation of the art to the sun, settled on this one.

Huge congrats Bats!!
As a smlal aside, since this is the Coffee House... I've always wondered, does your screen name take any reference to the somewhat similarly-named Miles Davis album?

this is a dumb question but I have never had contact with some-one who has done this before so i'm going to take a shot at it...
I was wondering about the way you copyright a bunch of songs. did you copyright them under one name like the title
TROUBLE.. or did you copyright each song individually?
