Well...eight weeks of sleepless nights, I have finally submitted my first recording project. It was much like birthing a baby. I am relieved, excited, nervous, scared and happy all at the same time. I did everything myself on my computer from designing the cover to engineering and mixing. To save money, I played all of the instruments with the exception of Chris Miller on fiddle for track 2 and Clint Ward on fiddle for about six or seven other tracks.
I mixed and remixed about twenty times, and I came to the realization that I would never be satisfied with the end result. It is impossible to get consistency across different sound systems, so I had to make a decision to accept it.
I hope to have my website completed by the arrival time, but I will try to get some clips available soon. For all you "Die Hards," I hate to disappoint you but it isn't a Cajun CD. There are 8 Cajun songs, and I only sing two. The rest are instrumental.
Your Post was timely..our Band is working up to a 6 - 8 track CD and the planning is under way for a November/December studio appointment ( could well be the toughest 'gig' we ever do !! LOL).
I sent an extract of your post onto the Band guys for a reality check.!!
Put me down for a couple of your CD's...check's( cheque's ) in the mail!!!..all the best .
