Hi Guys--
Well as I said before, I didnt want to derail the album progress by doing another new Christmas song this year, but I wanted to at least do something for you guys. I was listening to the original Christmas Medley and thought, Man, I really love this. Too bad the production stinks it up. Then I thought, Since that was done before I had an actual band, it sure would be cool to record Shawn playing drums on it and remix it hey, thats what Ill do!
Like anything, ALWAYS, it ended up being way more trouble and more time-consuming than Id bargained for. I was shocked at how badly-recorded some of it was when I pulled up the masters (learned a lot in 3 years, I guess?), so there were certain things that had to be retracked because of either quality issues or tuning issues (or in a couple of cases, random missing files). In the end it wasnt really that much less trouble than doing a whole new song, but hey, live and learn. And I think the end result is well worth it, because (if I may say so myself) I think it came out quite awesome!
Still making great progress on the album. This remix set me back a little, but not much, so Im going to resume hitting it hard this weekend. Ill try to post a video or two of my progress in the coming weeks.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!
