New Gentle Robot songs and possibly record coming. Accept this as the truth.

These are two of the ten tracks that I have to complete by Friday. These are finished, as I can’t be pressed to do anything more to them (probably better that way). I’m thinking I might send off the CD to RPM, put up a few free downloads, then try remixing and re-recording, but there’s always the chance I’ll ruin them or something .

A lot of the normal things I do like EQing and compressing the drums, working with automation to squeeze some dynamic range out of the track, is lessened here just for time purposes. The acoustic guitar on You Rise is recorded in mid/side technique, something I hope to go into depth on once the project’s over.

Well, it’s almost halfway through the RPM Challenge month. Plans are clear for 9 songs, some written this month, some written earlier, some scraps and riffs that got worked into full-length tunes (I had been meaning to, really). I’ve got rough mixes for five songs - vocals need to be redone for sure, but some of them are close. About 3 songs are pretty much done as far as recording.

I’m not overworking myself, but it’s sometimes hard to remember this is supposed to be fun!
