Th’Mixxx / Facebooked

Hey Kids,

I am writing you from our producer Devin’s basement.  The record is almost mixed.  Sounds crazy, I know, but after all this time, it’s… almost… there.  My brain is melting as we push through dilemmas like, “Should we take out the second guitar for that one measure?” and “Is the background vocal double a little too high in the second verse?”  And then, after we painstakingly decide which way to go, Pro Tools freezes up because there are too many automations running at the same time or because we lowered the buffer speed to compensate for latency.  I know you’re thinking, “You idiot, of course you have to raise the buffer speed when you’re running so many plug ins at once,” but hey buddy, it’s after midnight and I’m exhausted, cut me some slack.

Devin is putting more ROCK in the mix.

Anyhow, there’s a couple things I should let you know.  First of all, if you kids use that new fangled “facebook” website, be sure and become our “fan” by clicking here.  Apparently, that’s the hip thing to do these days.  Oh, as long as we’re talking nerdy, you may have noticed our twitter at the bottom of the page.  I try and update that as often as I can–which is not nearly often enough for you stalker-types, I’m sure–and we’d love it if you followed us.

Well, back to adjusting reverb levels and decay rates and such.  I think we’ve got one, maybe two songs left to tweak.  Then we’ll be mastering it all in December I believe.  There’s no particular release date yet, but there may be more on that topic soon…

I am exhausted.

See you at the FREE SHOW in Richmond on Wednesday!
