The beast is slain. the quest is done.

Or almost, anyway. EVERYTHING FOR BELLUM AETERNUM IS RECORDED!
Not that the entire album is finished, of course. To save the maximum time for recording I put off a lot of the recording-process cleanup work, like cleaning up the splices, trimming out noise, deciding on multiple takes, that sort of thing. Since editing can be done piecemeal, it can be done in-between rugrat play sessions, midnight feedings, during naps… so it will be a while before even Aerik can get his hands on it, much less any of you can hear it.
But my goal, to have the recording finished before little Vic #2 gets here, has been met.
And while my recording tales are nothing like the drinking/carousing/bar fights/bitchfests with the producer/label idiots tales that many more populous bands can tell, I did make mental (and pencil) note of a few things that I will eventually share that may be of some interest to the budding home/DIY musician.
(Ah, such naive words - little did I know that within four weeks the PC this was on would blow up and all of these recordings would be in jeopardy of permanent death.
At least I had a plan.)
