"Usurper", the opening track on the album, was the track to work on today. This one's been a bit of a problem child for awhile now and I did a lot of various recording during Memorial Day in hopes of trying to finally get it to gel. In revisiting the track and those parts, I found a bit of a mess since I had recorded stuff all over the place, and I couldn't even get my head around what the heck I was doing only a few short months ago. The first part of the day was focused on Auto Aligning the parts, then I worked on the drums for quite some time, and then I started working through the various guitar parts.
At the end of the day, it's still nowhere near to being done but I did work through a decent amount of issues and was able to get the track setup for full mixdown. I need to go through all of these songs this week and start writing down what parts I might want to add, in hopes of knocking the majority of those out maybe next weekend.
Yesterday, I worked on "Our Satellite's Collide" as planned both before and after watching the women's final. That track is fairly complete and seemed to come together quite well but that wasn't a total surprise. I figured that one would behave.
I'm also going to go through the "Mirror Land" EP this week in hopes of getting that ready to go as soon as possible. I really want that one out for mastering as soon as physically possible. It's simply been sitting around for way too long at this point.
All in all, it was a pretty good week and I learned a ton that I didn't know before this time off started. I'm excited about the mixes I have in the works and I feel confident that they'll be my best work to date. I actually can't wait to share them.
