A Busy Month. September comes to a close and we prepare to depart for London tomorrow. Fall is just starting to edge it’s way in here in NY, too bad we will miss all the trees when they change color. It’s been a very busy month. Getting things prepared for the European tour, rehearsals, and recording some B-Sides for an upcoming singles release. We recorded 3 songs, and did it all on my powerbook with Digital Performer 3 and the MOTU Firewire 828 interface. The interface is very, very cool. It was a bit of a rush project, and I was re-patching to record rehearsal during the day and record b-sides at night. DP3 was pretty cool, some nice touches to the new version. The only problem so far is some crashing while bouncing to disk in certain situations, and I can’t go back to the finder while a project is open, or it crashes. Otherwise it worked out as well as could be expected.
Now onto the tour. It will be good to settle into the bus. A couple of days of rehearsal in London before our first show in Cork, Ireland, and the all so fun “disco load out”, I’ll have some gear from SSE to supplement what the venues have or are providing, along with some new gear that I and the band have purchased. I will also be mixing the opening act at most of our shows, Nicolai Dunger.
