So, tuesday is the new saturday.

Turns out that it wasn’t the kick on the song. It was a synth that was making this odd very low rumbling sound. Very odd. Luckily, a little eq. took it right out. I added an additonal kick anyways to add a bit more punch. All in all, the song turned out well.
Happy.

Now…

It seems that my webhost doesn’t read what they write.
“Our reps usually get back to a problem within 2 hours.”
Now, maybe 2 hours means 3 DAYS. I don’t know…
Whatever happened to them when they moved locations, I’ll never know. It sure f’ed ‘em up though.

side note: The new Swells site is coming along very nicely.

Two things…
1. I was setting up a new Swells website. Side note, I play keyboard and sing backup for The Swells. Anyways, David, Mr. Swell himself, bought the domain name with one company with the intent on purchasing the webhosting from the same company. One thing lead to another and he became fed up with the company so he ended up with a purchased domain but no home for it to live in. Enter me. I told him about the good guys over at fourbucks, he liked what he heard and we decided to purchase the webhost through them. So, now David owns the domain and I own the website. He knows the domain password and I know the website password. Do you see where things are going? Potential train wreck, dead ahead. When I purchased my domain and website, I just used fourbucks and they did everything. This time was not so easy. After four days, still no swells website. It was starting to look like I was going to have to fix the DNS info myself, but David knows the password to get into where I need to be! Well, long story later, I was finally able to get the password from him and switch out the DNS numbers. So, in a couple of days all should be up. I’ll let everyone know.
2. I recorded a new SCU song a couple of nights ago. I really like the song too which is always a good sign. The bad thing is that I am not sure about the kick drum. It’s way to bassy and tends to muddy up the song. So, I need to rerecord it. I guess it’s not really that big of a deal because I had plans on doing a vocal track or two anyways.

Looks like I have four new songs in the “near completion” category. Songs have been coming along much more slowly now that I am fully back with The Swells. I guess I have my mind on writing guitar based pop songs rather than my usual robotic monotony. Still, I really do like the new SCU tunes.
I am still trying to decide how to “distibute” the new song collection when I am all done with it.
1. Self release
2. CD-R route
3. Screw everything and just post a bunch of mp3’s

*edit* Make that five songs now.

Since I discovered the blog, I decided to do a little redesign of the SCU site. So, if things look off periodically, that’s why.
