Debut Album: Bass Completed

Recording of the album continues. It is apparent that I will have to remain locked away for most of the next month or two in order to get the album ready for release in October. Initially it was planned for October 2nd (my birthday), but now it is going to be later. I think Halloween will be more like it. That gives me as much time as possible, whilst keeping to my intention of an October release.

All bass tracks are now recorded, although there is a possibility of me adding one more song to the list, because it has been very well received over at The Weekly Songcast and elsewhere on the internet. If you care to check out the song and let me know if it should definitely be on the album I would be very grateful for the feedback. It is called Hearts on Fire. I have already committed to more songs than will be on the official album, so I can choose the ones I like the best. In my experience, even if I love all the songs I record for an album, there is always one or two that don’t capture the same magic as the rest. It’s just the way it seems to go.

I mentioned in my previous post that I would be attempting to document my progress on video. I have captured some footage of dubious quality, but I have not been very effective at getting it online. Processing video takes me as long as it does to record tracks, so it’s a question of managing the time it takes to keep everything on schedule. I am, however keeping a record of what I am doing, so that when I get a handle on automating as much as possible, the creating, updating and publication of all content I will share what methods have been working for me.

I sense that there are many different options available to achieve this, so it’s a question of just getting into it and finding what works.

Enjoy!
