<\/p>\nI’m watercoloring. I’m not promoting my album, or A-B ing masters.\u00a0 I’m not writing my bio, or tweeting or fussing about on instagram.\u00a0 I’m touching a little spot of fire engine red\u00a0with the tip of my brush, swirling it through a drop of water, and easing it onto the\u00a0roof\u00a0of a\u00a0house I drew in black pen on paper.\u00a0 I really like this house.\u00a0 Nice blue wood panels above a story of stonework. Nice red roof.<\/p>\n
All this art-ing is very pleasant, and I enjoy the unpredictable magic of watercolor,\u00a0how the color varies as it dries, leaving a natural effect.\u00a0 But this pursuit is not moving my album towards completion.\u00a0 I am proud of my record. I am pleased with most of my decisions and mostly thrilled that I’m getting the darn thing done! But being the boss is a relentless job. No sooner is one thing done, then another rears it head and I have to make more decisions.<\/p>\n
Right now I’m trying to choose between a couple masters. I decided to NOT go with the tried and true local wizard and chose instead someone well-recommended but a lot cheaper.\u00a0 And the lot cheaper guy handed in some masters that sound too trebly to me. Dustin, my engineer, said he can’ t really tell a diff with the masters except that they are louder than the mixed tracks.\u00a0 So what did I pay for? Did I make a mistake going with John in Atlanta? Should I cut my losses and hand the job back to Bill Wolf? Should I use Dustin’s masters?\u00a0 I swear, I have NO idea. Fates forfend that I make a mistake!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Its my album! Its critical! this is the biggest single decision I make for the record – I have to know what I’m doing!! Only I don’t.<\/p>\n
Maybe a little brown mixed into the fire engine red to give it that rustic look.<\/p>\n
