Yesterday, transferred 4 more albums to a new distributor; 20 to go. I may remaster some, I'm unsure... it wouldn't take long for each album and I'd like to do this for most of the older albums to some degree. Only the most recent albums are volume and bass balanced (ah, the problems of a decades old catalogue!) - yet this work can take up valuable time. It may be more efficient to remaster them in batches of 3 or 4 each year. The middle of the day involved a small family birthday meal for my brother, who is visiting until Wednesday.
In the evening, I heard back that my Unknown Sounds music is acceptable, such joy and relief. I spent the evening working on edits and alternative versions. I used the swing option to create a relaxed version with a calypso-like feeling which was so pretty that it could be a hit song in itself.
One offshoot of these changes was an idea for Prometheus, to show the length of training silence. Most songs, most renders, should end in silence, but sometimes we have reverbs or echoes or other tails that stop the silent end. Until now, it was a matter of noticing this and simply rendering for a bit longer, but as of this morning the length of silence is monitored and returned. If the track isn't silent at the end it shows the number of tracks still sounding. Another little upgrade. Prometheus is now on version 3.75.
Late last night I re-listened to Another Violet Night. It's great, but there are still a few little changes needed, mostly to 'Breakfast of Delight'. Paul's visit is disrupting the week a bit, so it's a good time to work on these.
Onwards we roll.
