commented on a project updatesure thing guys! though i must say rough mixes are not very insightful in the same way demos can be. This will be more like watching a lo-res version of a movie on your laptop compared to going to the movies. It's the same material but just not quite as polished and big feeling. That is actually a really good way of describing it. I AM BRILLIANT

i'm good with either. it would be neat to hear rough mixes, but i'd be okay with waiting for the final product as well.

commented on a projectto anyone who is at all curious about the breakdown of costs i have not got it down to the dollar but my estimate is 6000 on mixing. This might end up being more since i will need instrumental versions (pretty standard) 2000 on mastering the record (i imagine it would be more with instrumental versions but i can always keep the mixes and have it mastered last minute if there is a sync opportunity) 1500 on making kickstarter backer prizes 3000 or so on pressing the album to CD and making art work 1500 on paying orchestra musicians (pretty good deal!) there has been about 1-2000 in gear costs (new hard drive, drums, hardware .. etc) in closing kickstarter is aptly named because it is to kickstart fundraising. not to fund 100% of the project.

commented on a projectMike, I never said that 8000 was the total cost of what it would take to make the record. I am not sure why you think the camera money has anything to do with this album. Also with the camera 1600 was to get a low end canon and as the amount raised got higher the grade of camera purchased went up. There was no money left over from the camera kickstarter because i ended up getting a canon 7d and a nice lens that came to just under 3000. Also after kickstarter's 5% and the credit cards that were not cleared the amount made from the album kickstarter was closer to 8600. However that doesn't matter since I had always stated that the amount needed to make the album would be much more. Hiring a decent mixier for the record is at least 200 a song. 200 times 30 is 6000. Mastering is about 70 dollars a track. That is 2100. Paying cello and violin players has been about 1000 so far. Pressing the album will probably be about 3000 or so. There are a few other expenses that came up as well. I paid 300 for part of my friends drum kit so i could record drums on disc 3. I know you think you know what you are talking about but you do not and I have been upfront about the costs since day one. I have contacted kickstarter to make sure you get your 25 dollars back.

Beautiful, Andrew.
epic sounding. Reminds me a little bit of *Shels.
Nice work! It's somewhat hypnotic and transports you off without even realising the effect it's having on you =)
