Mastering.

I've been a bit stumped with how to master the album. You can do it through the digital distribution site but a) it's not cheap and b) as good as they may be, sound is subjective and what they might do to it could be the opposite of how we want it to sound. 

So we've done everything to complete the album from home including the cover so I thought for better or for worse why don't we just master it ourselves using the mastering app.This has meant a bit more work making sure that the apparent volume of the tracks was levelled out and that the start and end of the tracks worked together. I've put it all on our Walkman as an album and I think it works but let's see! 

Album Completed Today?

So we thought we had it all in the bag. Twelve tracks and ready to go but then I did my thing and thought that a duet on one if the tracks that features me on vocals was better than me on my own. So today we will nail it! I think.

We have decided to go with the digital distribution company mondo tunes. They distribute to iTunes, Spotify, emusic and all of the other sights throughout the world for a flat fee. So if all goes to plan then the album will be available in 4 to 5 weeks.
