So… I apologize. I was out for three weeks.. I mentioned just taking some needed down time and I certainly needed it. Between work and working on bouncing back from the “Super Flu”.. I tell you. Just a couple days ago now I’ve had the strength to get back into my excercise routine. Whatever this Flu strain was, it zapped my wife and I both pretty hard. With her conditions she’s having a particularly hard time bouncing back. Almost a month now and she’s still low on energy. One foot in front of the other and we’ll both be back on track.
Notice the tulips in our front garden. They’re a bit sad in the photo. The weather played a trick on them and warmed up enough for them to bloom and then… it froze!! Not a hard freeze, but enough to send a mild shock to the poor tulips. But, they are a resilient plant though. They’re hanging in there and blooming every morning and resting every night.
How’s the music you say?? Papa T’s Dub Project #2 is coming along nicely. The things that I’ve learned along the way, principally Paul Ramsey’s template, has helped me zero in much more effectively from the beginning of the production process. There are some differences in application for me though. As I mentioned in a previous episode, currently all of my recording is accomplished by a method called direct input. There are no microphones involved for the instruments you hear. I either used digital instruments generated from my recording program or an external sound module. The only one’s in use right now are my Roland JV-1010 and Alexis electric drum kit. The vocals that you hear were recorded at Perfect Pitch Studio in Austin, Texas. That’s Paul Ramsey’s joint. And I shine all the tracks up real nice and make them pleasant to the earhole and get them out to you. The dub project is going to be good.. I’m very excited about it and glad that I’m able to be working with it a bit more as I slowly regain my strength.
The project after this one will be some cues that I’ve had with me for a bit. I changed gears here.. I was going straight to the Papa T “Say what you gotta say…Lovers and Warriors” but, for now I’m going to let the dub project represent my reggae me and work on getting the cues out. I will be sending invitations to music supervisors and offering memberships to access the total body of work after that’s completed. So.. the only way to access the cues will be with a membership. The membership also allows access during the production process of the cues here and there. All the wrinkles haven’t been worked out yet but, little by little we’ll get there.
Okay so.. I’m gong to move over to working on that dub project and I will be back in two weeks. Take good care all.. soon.
