Making CDs

After a rough end to last week that saw a bout of intestinal flu. I spent the weekend fine tuning the cover of the YEAR album.  The bug is going around and many, many people have been hit up even harder than I was.  The slow pace of trimming printouts, burning CDs and lightscribing the CD faces is not the fastest thing to do.  The trimming and burning is quick enough but Lightscribe is painfully slow.  It harkens back to the days of 2X cd burners in the 90s.

I have been listening to the CD quite a bit and can't believe the difference between this and my last recording in 1994.  The technology makes things sound so much smoother.  The unlimited tracks allows fully realizing song ideas to an extent that was nowhere near possible with my old Tascam Porta 03 Mini Studio.  It was a great little device that was a blast to record with but the unlimited possibilities and the plugins on computer based recording takes it a level where you can get professional recording studio results in your basement.

I am now sending out copies of the CD to friends and family.  It is the whole reason I enjoy recording.  I'm not making money on these but if people enjoy the tunes, I am a rich man.
