A Substantial Update (Finally!)

Dec 10, 2009 by Jeremiah

Well, it’s been a long, long, long time, but I am finally ready to post this substantial update. My last entry, way back in June, stated that I had begun looking for help with the mixing. Over the last couple of years, I’ve tried sending the album off to be mixed with less than acceptable results, tried mixing it myself, and tried working with a few other individuals. Unfortunately, for some reason or another, none of these attempts yielded what I consider a professional result. After spending three years on this record, I have a pretty good idea of how I would like the songs to sound but lack the skill and experience to get them there. It was clear to me that I needed to seek out someone who has had years of experience.

For the last couple of years, I have been building a friendship with a gentleman named David Teegarden. David has had many years of experience. He has worked with musicians including JJ Cale, Eric Clapton, and Bruce Hornsby to name a few. He was also the drummer for Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band and won a grammy for their 1980 release entitled “Against The Wind”.

We had our first session on November 15th, and things have really been coming together. This week, we had our third session and made a ton of progress. We mixed “Waves” and nearly finished “Perfection”. This means we have three songs complete. For the first session, I chose to have us start with “All For You” which has quickly become the most difficult song to work with and has caused the most trouble mixing. The combination of a very dynamic arrangement and several instruments has made it a chore to mix (but it sure is sounding incredible).

Anyway, I will be sure to keep you updated here through the site and especially Twitter. I am in the middle of overhauling the design, but, hopefully, it will be back up shortly. Thanks again for the incredible support. It means more than I can ever say!
