Good Morning. BackUp is very important

Everyone knows this and I just want to encourage everyone with valuable data to back it up! I have 2 onsite hard drive backups and an offsite hard drive backup. (Joe keeps it with him and brings it in every evening at the end of the vocal session.) Also I have a DVD backup of everything. I started my day by completing one of the DVD backups as I listened to the work from last night and started putting rough mixes together. We have also been filming on mini DV (tape 7 so far) - and Joe has been dong a lot of this, so I backup the tapes into iMovie (what a great program!). Today I loaded in tapes 5 & 6. And I played with Native Instruments Reaktor Travelizer. It was a rainy morning and so I didn't go out on the bike. Suddenly Vince arrived (at the usual time it has to be said) and I am siting at the computer unshaven and unshowered. Gross! So he takes over on the current track and I dive in the shower.

Today we picked up the pace

Vince wants to get the the gym tomorrow so we planned to work on 3 tracks today, in order to win a bit more time tomorrow. This made it a fairly full-on day, almost hectic. But it was an enjoyable challenge, and I feel good now it's over. :-) Andy also had loads of energy and sung all 3 songs really well in my opinion. I'm now extremely tired, so it's goodnight.

Disco Problem

It seems like Oscar doesn't like Disco - perhaps we will have to redo the whole record now? :-)

Another Beautiful Sunny Morning

Jens Pielawa sent a nice edit of an image I posted, so I thought I would share it with you, before I go cycling.

Powerful Vocals

Pic shows Vince finishing off programming and Andy completing Lyric edit(s). 2 big songs today - and big songs to sing. Andy in strong voice, but not finding it as easy as he sometimes does. For me this is giving an extra level of excitement and effort to the vocal performances which I feel we are both enjoying - I am loving it.One of the songs has no lyrical changes, and on the other song a few changes have been made. We do two intensive hours, separated by a tea break, more or less one session on each song. Even though I can't let you have the sound I thought you might like to see a video of Andy singing.
