The creative pipeline ::
The slippery slope of considering duping some CD’s: this morning it occurred to me to remaster the new collection; for fun I listened to some of the mixes through some extra compression/limiting and realized that maybe there was a little more dynamic range than I wanted. And with some patience I could probably get rid of some more hiss on the analog tracks without making them sound dull.
Then along came a post on opcode-users about running Studio Vision in Classic on Mac OS X (I was wrong about that!), and suddenly I’m opening an old song, seeing it for the first time in years. Wow! I exported all the tracks into Logic, dealt with just a little oddness in the way some events got split between tracks and assigned to instruments... and hey, I could remix this with a better piano sound and fix that overbearing snare drum!
And yet, my newer pieces want more work... and I want to start some new ones... priorities... I was just thinking that it’s kind of fun to have something in every stage of the creative pipeline, but shifting gears can be a big distraction, especially now that after the holidays, I’m back to having only a few hours a day to make music. Hmn, I think I’ll let myself try remastering after Bob Katz’s Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science arrives and I’ve digested it, but for now—forward!
