It’s been 2013 for like two days! Happy New Year, everybody. 2012 was a tough one but overall good. With the album out the door I’m excited about working on new stuff and getting better at writing and recording music. It’s been really nice, I forgot how much I missed it while I was in album finishing hell.

My first step was to upgrade my monitors. After a lot of research I bought a set of Focal CMS 65‘s and oh my god I’m happy with them. I feel like I can hear everything in the mix now. It’s actually a little horrifying because there are all these recording choices I didn’t realize I was making but it’s exciting, it feels like I can control sound better now.

Meanwhile, I’m getting ready for our Toronto show on the 26th.

I ‘ve said before that you should re-record We’re Not Friends. Hope that’s on this year’s to-do list.

I’ve never really gotten in-depth with album mixing, is it really that hard? Your rough mixes almost always end up sounding pretty good (with the exception of the original Bad Sign and the Certain Death demo), so that’s why I’m asking.

Thanks. I don’t know — the recordings I’ve done so far have all fallen short of what I’d like to do. I think I’ve still got a lot to learn.
