CD mastering update

Thanks for your thoughts on my mastering dilemma. You’re totally right: the opportunity to watch and learn from a mastering pro in action is worth the added expense. It’s likely I’ll learn a trick or two that would improve my at-home recording.

I hit a snag when I found out that my original choice was booked solid until early December(!) which just wasn’t going to work for me. So working on a tip from a colleague, I ended up having a great conversation with Mark from Seattle Disc Mastering, who had an opening next week. Added bonus: his facility is close to Jim’s studio. So next Thursday I’ll be bringing him all the tracks in 24-bit WAV format, we’ll master the CD, and it will be officially done.

Well, the audio part at least. I’ve still got all the remaining artwork to do.

And Sam did speak thusly:

Tell Mark I told you it was OK to bring in 5 or 6 mixes of each song to make a master mix from and also bring in a bunch of sound effects to add..

Hey Sam, I totally forgot you also recommended Mark!
And Sam did speak thusly:

Does that mean I don’t get the commission?

I’ve got a great idea for Sam’s commission – new strings for Michael ;)

Maybe if Michael ever let me play his guitar…
