Success

I didn't have a great weekend overall but it fortunately left me with pretty good news.  The "As Evening Bring Tears" video edit version is going off for mastering today, and I'd expect it to be returned to me probably by the end of the week.  I would imagine the video itself will be available on YouTube within about 2 weeks.  I'll certainly make that known here once it's been posted.

Also, "The Effects of Connection" EP is also done and will hopefully be sent off for mastering at the end of this week, or the weekend at the latest.  The guy who's going to do the mastering seems like he's having a slow period so I'd expect it to be turned around super fast.  I'd think that the tracks will be available on Bandcamp within the next 2 weeks as well.

The really good news, though, is that the "Mirror Land" EP is finally done at very long last.  Talk about getting a monkey off my back...my god.  I have been struggling with this EP for a decade...no joke.  It's gone through multiple mix changes, more than I count (although nowhere near TFTO), and the overall result is pretty positive.  I think I chose wisely walking away from it at the end of 2023, only to return to it with new tools and techniques in hand, and fresh ears, and managed to knock this out in about 2 weeks.  To say that I'm patting myself on the back for it is putting it mildly.  Now, when mixes are "done" that means that there's still a lot of listening, mild changes, etc., so it'll be some time before that one is actually available (maybe a month?), but the core mix is now really solid and sounding pretty good.

Full steam ahead back to the "...Fish!" mixes, of which I put aside for the past 2 weeks in order to get these EP's done.  I still feel that I'm on track to have the "...Fish!" mixes tightened up by the end of the month so I'm actually on schedule, quite possibly for the first time ever.  Let's hope this continues.
