Backup day today, and more work on The Dusty Mirror.
Completed the artwork yesterday. I tend to make art for an 8-page CD booklet, and did this for the 2020 release, even though I didn't have any CDs made; so effectively my artwork updating is filing it in my current way. At some point since 2020 I updated my digital standards to 635dpi, that is 3000x3000 square without bleed, because 3000x3000 is the standard for music artwork now. I did that for all pages, but as of today I'll create a 3000x3000 pixel cover, but use 600dpi (2834px) for the pages, as scaling to the 300dpi standard will be better.
This was the first draft cover, and unused (I've probably said that here in the past and posted it before!):
I'll include it in the booklet now. My mixing efforts are frustrated by my continued deafness. I'm uncertain about vocal levels. Many songs I listen to seem to have louder vocals than mine. I guess that anything will be acceptable, providing the vocals aren't as quiet as Def Leppard's on Hysteria!
I'm tired and slow. I need to charge forwards more, get this album done, get the Fall in Green album done and start something new.
Onwards I crawl through the harsh desert of life. Rock, come. Let us roll towards the next bend. Let us see what lies there.
