The state of my world is mostly the state of my album...

I spent the last few days mixing the new vocals for Providence Skies--and mixing the octave mandolin for Providence Skies because I noticed I hadn't; I was just using the third take straight. The new monitors are nice.

I also did the tweaks I noticed for the first three tracks of the CD when I was listening through everything in order. Some things I was able to fix or improve, some, not. I'm trying to get everything mixed and tweaked to send out my Ears CD to my first listeners. 

By the way, if people with mixing/mastering experience are interested in receiving a copy of my new CD (just the music), listening to it, if possible in more than one environment, and getting your observations back to me within a couple of weeks, I would appreciate your advice.

Today I will start mixing Atheist's Anthem vocals (again--I forget if this will be the second time or the third) and do the tweaks on three more songs, and try to write up a first pass at the liner notes.  And finish the current batch of proofreading.

Whuf.

It is 10:30 pm on Sunday, and I finally have my work for the day done.

And I've worked out a rocking countermelody for "I Meant To Do That" and melody and chords for my new song "Drying Line." 

The boat launch for the boatbuilding class down in Maryville is cancelled and they're going on Friday instead.  To tell you the truth, I'm glad--I'm too tired to put a canoe on the car.  Maybe Friday will be better.
