In the days and weeks leading up to my time in the recording studio, all I could really focus on was being ready to record. Are the pieces all well-prepared and ready to go? No? Then more practise time was the order of the day. However, there are many parts to this project and recording was just the first. I suppose if I wasn't 'the one' in charge of this project, that is to say, if I had a manager, or a producer, my work might be finished when the actual recording was done. As it is, the responsibility of checking each track falls to me, and me alone. You can see from the photo on the left what the dining room table looked like when I was in the midst of listening, checking, following the score, etc. making sure that every track was completed to my satisfaction.
Other parts of the CD project still on the to-do list (in no particular order) are things like cover image, title, liner notes, getting the mastering done, and last (and most intimidating), requesting and obtaining mechanical licensing for each track. No doubt you'll hear from me again as I continue through this musical adventure!
