The Ideal Listener for MVM

Our research shows that the ideal listener for MVM is a man, dressed like a woman, is over 40 but wider than a mile, 9 feet tall, all that, is a camaro owner, parakeet aficionado, Michelob drinker, half canadian, half sausage, half cowboy hat.


The Dog and The Wolf is being pressed and packaged as I write this.

The Loudness War

I imported a whole bunch of professionally recorded/mastered songs
to listen to while i was doing my mastering


after a discussion with pat
we decided that these songs are not what I should be shooting for

we spent so much time writing dynamic songs...and then I mixed them in such a way to try to make them even more dynamically dramatic....and then here I was trying to figure out how to master like commercial mastering house...which means make the music as loud as you possibly can by taking all the dynamic range out of the music

that's not what we want

so
our songs won't be quite as loud
but they'll rock harder


you'll just have to turn them up a little

so
now the only thing i have to figure out is how to make these songs sound like they sonically belong on the same album

which is challenging

but I'm getting closer

...mastering?

I've been mastering these past two days

or
trying to master

i really don't know what I'm doing
(never having mastered before or used this software i just purchased)...(I've read the manual twice so far)
so

the going is slow

and i'm trying my derndest to make it sound professional...with zero experience

so i'm sure glad i was ahead of schedule

now i can take a couple weeks instead of only one week to fit in a career's worth of mastering experience




don't worry


i'll make it sound good

Still...ahead of schedule...but...

I can't put the mastering software in these labs
quite yet

because of an admin password snafu

so

i guess
i'll have to wait to master

hopefully just one day

Ahead Of Schedule

Mastering Starts Tomorrow!!!!

almost a week before I had planned

Here we come!!!
