I MISS THESE

Recording, recording, recording

So, I’ve been working on this jazz record that I’ll most likely get a credit on as an engineer. Also, I just found out starting first week of January I’ll be working on a record for this Punk/Goth band from Indiana, called Grave Robber, so I’ll get a credit on that record. Sometime not long after that, a band that Chris Lieck signed to management, Emory Quinn, will be recording their new studio record, and I’ll be working on that, too. I could also be working on a record for Ashlee Rose, a local artist from San Antonio.

I’m extremely excited about my upcoming projects and very proud of myself, but I still have a long way to go. I can’t wait to get to work on these records.

Drum editing and looping

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:42:53 -0600

Drum editing is my favorite thing in the world to do…NOT. Actually, I do kinda like it, but it gets soooooo annoying after a while, especially when you’re working on the same part over and over again, and especially if the drummer isn’t on the click. Yesterday I somehow managed to live through 5 hours of drum editing and looping on one song. It was a pain in the butt. I thought I was going insane. I look forward to hours and hours and hours and hours of this during the rest of my career. Fun stuff.

I’m blessed to see this room every day.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It motivates me....

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It motivates me. The lyrics are exactly what I feel. The words “I will not choke on failure” are something I live by.

I love this song.

writing

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:48:52 -0500

It seems that I’ve lost my touch for writing music. I used to write songs all the time with my bands, and now I just can’t do it. I’ve hit a huge wall and I can’t get over it.

I’m going to try writing a song tonight. Hopefully I can make something decent.

I’m so full of myself. My computer background is my name....

busy

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:05:02 -0500

I’ve been extremely busy lately. I’m sorta in this internship thing at the studio, or what we like to call a “working apprenticeship”. I’ve been running some errands for Chris, like this past week I’ve been making a bunch of phone calls and emailing schools about getting some advertisements in their school newspapers. Chris has been getting me in the studio a lot lately, having me sit in on some intense meetings with bands and even record label meetings, which I truly appreciate, because I get to have a first-hand experience on some real-life scenarios and deals that are being made. I can pretty much use these experiences as business classes. I feel much more productive now that I’m getting into the business side of things, and now that Chris has been calling on me a lot to run some errands like making phone calls, emailing, running small sessions, and sitting in on some meetings, I finally feel like I’m taking it to a higher level, not to mention still taking the recording classes and doing whatever it takes to become a better engineer. The future looks bright.

So finally the day came and No Bragging Rights, Destruction of a Rose, and Modern Day Escape rocked Del Rio. Tonight is Glory couldn’t make it, but oh well it was still fun. Even with a stupid football game going on the same night, we still managed to get around 50 people, which, according to the bands, was a little above average compared to what they had been getting on their tour. The bands had a good time, we got to hang after the show for a while, and they all want to come back. The only reason any of this even happened was because I met No Bragging Rights at Warped Tour and I let them wash up and hang at my apartment after the show was over. Right away we clicked and Josh and I invited them to play in Del Rio.

I’m glad we could bring them down on their last tour before they write and record their new album, and I can’t wait to hear their new material and bring them back on their next tour. It’s cool that they actually remembered my name and remembered going to my apartment. Hopefully we can continue working with them. These dudes are my bros now. Legit.
