The streets of Eugene seemed oddly empty tonight… and there was a strange heaviness in the air – with clouds blanketing the sky yet refusing to release their rain. It was almost as if the entire night were holding it’s breath… waiting…

update on recording, mixing and writing
Weather slowed down some of the outdoor video – rain and threats of rain postponed our short hike to the second magickal location we want to use. But we’re using this time to mix; and I believe we’ll have a new tune posted really soon. Meanwhile, I’m posting a new recent photo just to fill […]
Shooting video and preparing tracks for final mixing
The last couple of nights we’ve been shooting a bit of video, and it’s quite fun. We were looking for just the right lighting in the evenings – the golden hour. We’d decided to add a bit of theme footage to tie together all the live footage we have – to capture the essence of […]
Vocal Effects for Marmalade Moonlight
I wanted to post a little bit about the mixing to illustrate what’s going on with it – knowing so many people are waiting for the next song to be released, hopefully this will give you an idea of how it’s coming.
New Song Sample Posted: Riding the Wheel
We’ve just posted another song sample on RockScarlet.com “Riding the Wheel” is kind of a fun song, it strikes me as being a bit more “radio friendly” than some of our other tunes – but what about you? What do you think? We’ll be releasing another one as soon as it’s mixed – soon!
“How do you not lose your voice?” and other queries…
It seems lots of people are reading the blog, which is so cool…but not leaving comments, and instead going to rockscarlet.com and sending me an email with questions. That’s OK, but really it’s easier and quicker to leave a comment here 🙂 Don’t be shy, I love to hear from everyone! So here’s the questions […]
Posting Two New Songs
Tonight two songs from the upcoming CD (which I’m temporarily calling “Views from the Hologram”) are now uploaded. Tonight we’ve posted samples of these two songs: “Wayside” and “Ring That Bell” on the band website music page, RockScarlet.com and perhaps I’ll start posting them here in the blog, as well. They’re under a minute long […]
Mixing the latest tunes
Wanted to post a bit of an update on the mixing. My first thoughts are that all three new tunes came out quite cool, the tracks are great. This recording has taken a bit of time, but its been worth it, and we’re pretty happy with it. However, I’d really like to enchant up the […]
Monday & Tuesday Night in the Studio
Whew! We’ve finished the vocals and harmonies, and did a rough mix tonight of “Ring that Bell.” As always happens, we’ll need to listen tomorrow with fresh ears and make some adjustments. These 3:00AM mixes have their own personalities 😀 and often need to be tweaked a bit later.
Sunday Night – Guitar Tracking
We wound up doing guitar tracks tonight, with all the rhythms and solos done, and just a few clean parts to do on Monday. So vocals will have to wait till that’s done.
