Waitin'

I don't have much to report at the moment, hence no post over the weekend.  I have 2 weeks off of work starting this weekend and so I'm simply mentally gearing up.  The agenda is mainly about mixing, still trying to wrap up the "Mirror Land" EP and really focusing on both the "Lost Weekend" remix and the Defrost Nixon mixes.

Peele has been working on the mix for "The Effects of Connection" and I'm currently waiting on his second draft.  The first was decent but there were a few issues.  As expected, he's mainly battling problems with the drums, and these are the same issues I've been battling with the Defrost Nixon album in general.  If nothing else, now I know it's not just me.

I'm really curious to see how far I can get with the "Lost Weekend" remix over the next couple of weeks.  I'm thinking (hoping?) that I can take it quite far, if not nearly to completion.  Is it possible?  I guess we'll see.  It'll be a good test to see how much the equipment investment has paid off and how much I've actually learned.

I've also started planning out what I want to get accomplished and released in 2023.  2022 ended up being a year of learning, more or less, so I'm hoping everything pays off in 2023 and that I do a bit of catch-up.  If all goes well, I'd like to see releases for the "Mirror Land" EP, "The Effects of Connection" b/w "Two Step", the "Lost Weekend" album, the Defrost Nixon album, the yet to be fully recorded "Yet I Tried for You" EP with MWP and Seth Tiven, and the new Jazz Machine album.  It's a little bit of every sound under the sun, really.  Sounds ambitious, huh?  I do agree but there is a decent chance that I can do this...with a little bit of luck, that is.  They're all mainly mixing projects only except for the latter two.  No matter what happens, it should be an interesting year.
