…and yep, they’re posted

next couple of days should yield some more do-overs too…

Aug 31 deadline for Uplaya – American Songwriter…here I come!

The competetion deadline and their website have helped me through the process of elimination with regards to the songs.

a mix that has the mids boosted to give a bit more warmth and punch.  I re-did the vocals for get my thing, nothin to lose, high on yourself and the blues.  2 more songs will be posted soon…

whats posted now is being worked on.  the last 2 weeks in August should yield a couple more postings of the set list, with an attempt at final vocal tracks and mixes for the August 31st deadline for the UPLAYA – American Songwriter Competition (which I’m not expecting to win by any means but it has given me an unmovable deadline to finish the tunes up and move on

….I did re-do a couple vocals today, but I’ll be using the next couple weeks to make sure whatever vocals needing to be re-done are re-done.  These mixes were done using t-racks 3 Vintage processors and a couple of plugins that are bundled in with Protools 8

I spent yesterday and today reworking the mixes and vocals and that is what has just been posted.  The song ‘impressions’ has made a come back, song list is at 12.  check it out…

Uplaya has acknowledged the misprint of their July 31 submission cutoff date and have agreed to let me resubmit up until Aug 31.  They’ll be deleting the songs I already submitted so my Auddy Award Trophy Case might be empty until then.  Some of the songs I submitted I was dog tired on the vocals but did the best I could to finish them up.  I was working with 15 songs total, but now I’m in the middle of a process of elimination.  This will give me the opportunity to take my time and make sure both the mixes and vocals are the way I want them to be, and only to focus on the 11 tunes that the vecctones debut album will consist of.

just an fyi…I deleted about 1,200 friends from the vecctones Myspace community based on the fact that they haven’t logged into their accounts for a long, long time.  My guess is that they’re bands that have since broken up as result of all the bullshit and people who have abandoned their Myspace profiles in order to indulge in Facebook.  check this blog entry out…

also, I’m not so sure that ‘save yourself’ will be makin the cut unless I can figure out my place on it vocally, sometimes struggling with something for too long is a sign, I’ve deleted it from the new playlist for now

i just re-sang and uploaded “crybaby”, “save yourself”, and “the blues”
