Update #11: Update

Posted on May 19, 2011

Hi!

Its been a while since I updated everyone on the Bridgework record.  Amazing progress has been made, just not exactly with actual recording yet.  But my studio upgrades have been completed and I am now diving into actually tracking the album.  Things have been taking longer than I hoped, but it is a little hard to find time when you work six days a week between two jobs.  I know - excuses, excuses. 

Anyway, I have managed to pick up most of the gear I wanted (mostly used), and get all of my diy studio projects basically done.  Its been a lot of hard work, but the real work is just beginning. I am nearly finished tracking the first song, and my test mixes so far are sounding really good  (to me at least).  

Here's a small glimpse into where I'll be spending most of my free time for the foreseeable future.   

Cheers!

John
