I’ve not even picked up a guitar during the month of October and so I thought I should get back on the bike, as it were. Don’t think I haven’t been busy musically speaking. I have – it is just that I haven’t been recording or playing. Much of the last month has been taking up with an archiving project I am undertaking,
In ye olde days, when I first started using my PC to record, I was using software called Canam Audiomaster, which was a budget application that came supplied with my soundcard, but despite it being at the lower end of the market, it was a very able digital sound recorder.
Unforunately, time and a number of operating systems have passed and so Audiomaster sometimes doesn’t always work and so I decided to go back to those masters and convert them into Cakewalk Sonar compatible mixes. Out of this idea came the “Legacy Editions” concept – go back, archive, remix and republish where necessary. I have been doing this for my first digitally recorded album “Fade In/Fade Out” and the remixing/remastering process has been interesting. I will eventually get around to publishing the album here for download in the coming weeks. The downside to this project is that it takes time and is incredibly boring to do and I think I’ve got another five or six albums to convert into this format to complete the cycle.
So watch this space!
