For this Friday report it’s short and sweet. I’ve got the new template down pretty well now. The longest song on the album has a solid, although not final.. mix on it. The template allows for consistency and some pretty good punch right off the bat. Working away.. one down.. nine to go. I’ll be back next Friday. Take good care all..

Greetings all… I left off with some critical instructions and information that was provided to me by Paul Ramsey of Perfect Pitch Studio In Austin, Texas (PPS). I’ve adapted the template as Paul described it and now going through the songs and applying it to each one. The difference is much closer to my desired outcome… for all of my work. And I will get better at it as it goes. It will take time though.. I have to strip all the songs down to the basic recording and or programming so… yeah, got a little ways to go yet.

For some reason I feel as though I’m pushing against the tide to get this done. I do not understand depression enough to put that label on it but.. by description, it’s at least a close cousin. It’s not like me to not come home from work, turn on last night’s work and listen to it as I’m cleaning the kitchen and preparing super. Then, after super and some kitchen cleaning, go on down to the church and get some work until time for rest. Instead I’ve been watching reels on drug smugglers… why?? Not sure about that. The program I watched about smugglers working in the Morocco, Gibraltar, Southern Spain region was quite interesting though. Hashish dreams I think;)…

Anyway.. time frame for completion?? No more than a month from now.. I will fill everyone in as it goes. We’ll call it “humanmusique’a Friday Progress Report”. So I will leave you with this tidbit and get back with you this coming Friday with more.

Take good care everyone.. Spread love!!!

So… in my last post on fb I mentioned having 10 songs ready for mastering. I did that and the outcome was less than desired.. rather frustrating to say the least. While going through some corrective scenarios in my head, using all of my limited experience to overcome the “sounds of mud”, which was the result of my most recent mastering event, I figured I would have to strip down my process to a point and start over. Frustrating but, necessary. In the middle of my frustration I reached out for help to get pointers for direction and boy did I get a welcomed response.

A few years ago while in Austin, Texas I did some recording at Perfect Pitch Studio with Paul Ramsey. It was more than just a recording session.. it was a melding of minds and a big learning experience for me. There’s not many humans on this planet of the composition of Paul. Let’s just say that this was beyond a recording session that benefited everyone involved. Well… as fate would have it, here we are again. Sitting on a stack of jewels working on a way to hone them down so everyone can share in the same experience. If you have all the right tools for this work… more will appreciate the outcome than not. We’re back in the shop working on pieces that have elevated five or six notches from our last meeting and I for one am excited beyond containment.

As most delicate works, it will take a minute. The results will be more than worth the wait. Paul is very gifted at developing and implementing processes. The project will be worked until it is well balanced and right where it’s supposed to be for a full bodied experience. I can’t express how excited I am to be working with Paul again and, I’m confident that this combination has all the ingredients for an excellent outcome.

So.. I will fill you in along the way.. Thank you for making the time to drop by and take good care.

Hello all.. First thing: I’m plugging away taking care of the mix for NO LIMITS:2020 and I’m pretty sure I’ve got the process down for all the finishing touches. We’ll see once I bounce and master. And I will most definitely keep you posted. Before I forget.. please do a huge favor for me. When you come across one of my many ramblings.. please interact. Like it , hate it, take a hit and read it again, like it and tell all your friends to do the same… whatever the case, interact.

Just a short tip bit here.. I’m going to move on and mix some more and up my drum kit presets.. more on that bit later. I’m moving in the direction of getting some like minds together to tell a few stories live and in living color. A work in progress.

Take good care…

I think it’s safe to say that the line in the direction of progress is not the straightest.. And so it goes.

I have a new CD/Album and a single from the the same CD/Album (No Limits:2020 by Likuid Eklektik) that I will be releasing in about 2-3 weeks. Ten songs made the cut.. 1. Move Me, 2. What Have We Done Now, 3. Tomy, 4. My Kind of Day, 5. From This Point Forward, 6. You and Me, 7. Groove Instinct, 8. The Beauty, 9. Sahara Frolic, and 10. Tree Tops. Number 2, “What have We Done Now“, will be released as a single on September 10, 2023 on most major streaming networks. Remember, when you go to visit your favorite streaming network, do not let spell check mislead you. The proper spelling for the band is… “Likuid Eklektik“. You will also find a copy of the first CD/Album, “Never2Late” as well. The entire CD/Album “No Limits:2020” will be released on BandCamp on September 29, 2023. In case you were not aware, the bulk of my music will be on BandCamp. Currently, only eCD’s are available but, that will change before too long and I’ll keep you posted on that also.

Once again, my genuine thanks for your support and make sure you spread the word.. don’t hoard all the good stuff for yourself

Take good care.
