Late night recording sessions...uggghhh...OH and HURRICANES!!




So it's 5:00am and i am in the studio (since 4:30am) finishing up Cam's 2nd master recording. (final touch vocals and mixing.) I got about 3 hours of sleep before so that is always helpful...good thing those who had studio time before us weren't done yet so i got hot chocolate for us as not to subject them to my grouchy "just woke up" attitude...hopefully this session goes well and we come out with a great recording! Tomorrow (or today i guess) @ 9:30am we all will listen to each others masters and get reamed out...i mean critiqued, by Tom, Warren and Will. Speaking of Tom, Warren and Will...they decided we have been working ourselves too hard and they can see we are getting worn out. So...they cancelled CMC LIVE for this week! We were all so excited! That means no rehearsing and more downtime to nap and relax or whatever...we all just need a break...it's nice to see that Tom and Warren realize how herd we work.
Next subject...yeah, so we were in a hurricane this weekend! There are trees that split and huge branches fell...we were out of power most of the night after 7:00pm. It was probably one of the most enjoyable nights so far! A few of us lit a fire in the cafe and played some great games. I feel like we all got to know each other better and just got closer because we had nothing else to do but sit and talk to each other for hours. It was great! The wind was freaking ridiculous! a couple people went to the beach and recorded the waves and how strong the wind ones. Thank God it wasn't worse than is was though...the only bad part of the night was my artist lost some recording time...hence this 5:00 am session!
In my last blog i forgot to mention something pretty important...a couple weekends ago my Mom and Aunt Karen and Lisa came to visit!! It was so weird to see them get off the ferry!! i was thinking, "why are they here now, at my school, on Martha's Vineyard?" it was such a fun weekend! They got to the Vineyard on Thursday night...i went to Boston to see Tori Amos live in concert on Friday...we spent all day saturday driving around with a friend (Edie) on the island going to the beaches, lighthouses and just having a blast. Laura (who graciously let us stay with her) cooked us dinner that night and Aunt Karen made my favorite pie!! (Old Fashion Cream!) i was very sad to have to take them to the ferry at 7 am Sunday morning. it was so great to see family!! if only my WHOLE family could have made it!! well, i really need to go be an active manager and start mixing the recording now.

peace
