Memoirs of a Lunatic

Its done! :D

Done it! Dave just left, CD in hand… i’ve produced my very first EP as an engineer, and i think i’ve done a good job, Dave certainly couldn’t stop grinning away!
It feels good to have something completed like that… i guess its my first achievement as a technician, and i think its something i can be proud of… i’ll certainly showcase the work to my mates and see what they think - although i have to be careful, don’t want it to seem like i’m rubbing their noses in it!

I might get some more engineer work too… Dave was telling me about his mate and his band. They spent £500 recording an album for a forthcoming tour in germany, and the results were aparently very poor… the technician had just invested in a load of new equipment, and basically overdid it big time! So dave is gonna give the guy my number if he wants to get it remixed by myself, at a considerably smaller charge too… its probably like 10 tracks, so somewhere around between £50 and £100 is what i’d most likely charge for that.

Now the next step… recording my own band. This might be a little tricky. I’ll have to hit the record button then run out the booth, grab my guitar and start playing.

6 weeks and everything has to be completed for the college deadline… strange, 6 weeks is a long time, but then again its not… i’ll just have to pull my finger out now and get everything done! In fairness though i haven’t got an awful lot to do… unlike some of the class cretins who haven’t done any work
