Mastering Done, Duplication Underway

Today I checked out the final mastered version of the album. Sounded pretty good. One song was a little weird, which is too bad, because it's my favourite song on the CD: Hope Has Taken Me. I mixed my voice too far back, so the voice sounds totally in a drum. Some chorus was added to Shermeen's final mix, which wasn't exactly what I was going for, but we were on a tight time line. :( It still sounds really good.

The guys at FonicFactory are so talented and generous. They were forced to do a two week project in twenty hours, without much sleep! And for very little money. Thanks guys! The album sounds way better because of their efforts.

So Tom and I grabbed a bite to eat at a little Greek hamburger joint downtown, then high-tailed it to Brantford where we dropped off the CDs for duplication. Lots of paperwork, but it was fun. Met some people who knew me through other people, and I guess Philpott is getting a reputation. Cool.

Can't wait for this to be all finished, and to stop worrying about it. Like Lane said a few weeks ago, "If anything is worth doing, it's worth doing with mediocrity."
