Studio time makes no sense to me. There have been short days, 5 hours or so, where it seemed things blew by and much was accomplished. Then there are times when you spend the entire day in the studio and you seem to get very little done.
We actually did end up pretty much where we needed to be before he left town, but by the end things just weren’t really moving and it seemed a better idea to stop where we were. We won’t be mixing the CD until he returns, so we’ll listen fresh to everything then and see what remains and what doesn’t work. I wanted to have it ready by IPO, and it may be, but I’m not going to put out something that isn’t proper just to have it by a self-imposed deadline. It’s frustrating, but there isn’t much I can do about it.
Tomorrow we’ll mix a version of “Jeff Lynne” for the IPO disc, and I’ll get copies of everything. Then for the next two months I’ll finish up the design of the CD, and have everything ready for the manufacturers by the time Rob is back. I also need to figure out exactly what it is I’m going to do for the release.
Tonight I’m frazzled and I’m going to sleep.
