Game changer

New monitors are Awwwwwsome! They add a new point of reference for getting a quality mix, and its an epic win here on all fronts. I feel like I have more control all of a sudden. So, I've gone back to Song 1 this week, The Fall. And I'm doing a remix for the EP. It sounds wicked already, I bloody love it. But I might have to resing 1 part, that's ok I get around to it later. I'll probably remix the other songs too.

So in retrospect, it was kinda stupid not to have studio monitors from the beginning. Good ones. And ALSO, good headphones. My monitors are KRK Rokit G2 5's, and I'm using the Shure SRH440 headphones. A potent combination. But I just didn't have the money when I started out.

Also, I decided I don't like the graphics for the bandcamp website. So I whipped up some new ones. The new ones are darker, and represent the core elements of my music. Stuff like, the power of the individual, but also isolation and loneliness that can come with that image, and darkness and beauty co-existing. etc etc. A little gothic perhaps, but not dark gothic. I've used some photo's a good friend of mine took.

It's fun, making the graphics. I like doing it. I should become a graphic designer!  ;P
Oh, and the 4th song is coming along. Sounds good, but still revising the lyrics here and there...
Here the look of the new site.
