Oh thank f.

Patience yadda yadda things take the time they do yadda yadda blech pfft.

Yay. There's nothing more for me to do.

Oh. Art. 

We'll do a limited CD run just cos we're so old school.

Videos? Hmm. Did a few so far. Maybe now that the AI at YT auto generates a video for each song what do I need to do? Maybe nothing.

Meanwhile, and I kid you not, we are already tracking new material. 

'Signposts' has taken 2 years to complete. Yeah that's right. 

Not including 'collections' (releases made to deal with the Spotify Playlist era of music), we maintained our 1 year average for a release due to the Sweet Grace of Mercy EP and the Best of Downtime albums. 

During COVID and the circumstances, I continued collecting guides and concepts and we kept working them up. We only ended production by drawing a line under the songs for 'Signposts' and getting on with the practical work required to complete a release.

Now we're back to reviewing and developing.

With the change in tech its now just as easy to do a guide in 'studio' mode as opposed to my previous method of using a phone to record the ideas :) now we track them straight in.

That means I am already tracking 4 songs. Gotta admit, the tech is awesome. Prince would have released 100 albums with this stuff.

FYI I have been using Reaper and Izotope and Plugin Alliance, thanks to Cellar Dwellers Pete D. and Michael L. for pointers on all of the above. 

For 'Signposts' what I saved on studio time I spent on...Sitar. Horns. Keys. Facking djembe. 

Perhaps for the next project we might try and keep it simpler. 

Naaaah.

Heh.
