Some of you may know that since early this year I had been working on an epic project with my European (Slavic) Folk band: our debut album.
This was dragged out for way too long and took more time to edit it all to the standard it is today then it did to actually record it, but in the end I am very pleased with the results. Only one member in the band had previously performed on an album and that was the drummer who was a pleasure to work with. Another 3 of us had worked on afew random songs (as performers) myself included and the other two members had not recorded a single note before.
Given that, I am quite pleased with the end result and the creative input of the band. All the songs are 100-200 year old folk songs recorded with a modern take.
It was all done at my place, in my ghetto room into an Onyx 400F. All mixing was ITB. The final CD press was not mastered, the album teaser has just some maximising to ensure people don't get scared by having to turn their volume knob too much to compensate :Smug:

It has already been pressed and delivered, though as always any feedback is much appreciated.
If you would like any details or to hear the full version of any song feel free to ask.
I can now be free of it!
