Mastering, the Bane of my Existence

Howdy everyone. It’s been a while since I last wrote because I’ve been knee deep in musical related business.

Unfortunately, this means a few of my other streams have suffered (the Arran Arctic Podcast, Twitter etc.), but I didn’t get into this music biz to sit on Twatter all day!

I’m very pleased to report I’ve finished recording a new LP’s worth of tracks. I even managed to rope in Kelagh O’Neill of Jump: Press A for a few guest vocal spots!

Kelagh's Vocals

Double thumbs up! Yeah, we had fun :)

 Sadly, since recording is finished the fun part is over. Now follows weeks of making minute adjustments to mix, EQ and volume… mastering = frustration.

I’m hoping to get a free single up on the website this autumn, followed closely by the album itself. I’ll be posting the album artwork before that though, so plenty to look forward to.

Stick with me folks, we’re nearly there ;)

Cheers
Arran
