the home stretch

Only three more days of tracking! Other than vocals, this is purely bells and whistles time. Steve's collection of old keyboards, synths, etc. is playing a significant role in this process. There are rumors of horns and strings this weekend also. I've spent fewer hours in the studio during this second week, mostly because I gots to pay the rent, but also in order to avoid getting burned out and to be able to approach the stuff that's done in my absence with fresh ears. It's cool when there's something new in a song that was different than what I expected. I'm looking forward to mixing, which happens next week. I imagine John and Steve will do most of this without us (that's why you hire great producers, after all) and we'll be there to suggest changes and to give it the final thumbs up.

Fresh ear's / perspective seem like a really valuable contribution! I was just reading in the artist's way how you shouldn't feel bummed when nothing's bubbling, that just means you are on the re-up.
