Metaphor: Picking Up

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006/03/picking-up_17.html

Progress on CD #2. Friday, March 17, 2006. OK Here's the missing text, new and improved! Well, we sort of left off at Friday, March 10. I talked a lot about some of the business details. I’ll talk more about that later, but let’s get back to recording. And playing with different combinations) and came up with the one you’ll hear on the record, Ed said, “Yeah. This one sounds like the moment right before creation.” I knew it was the right sound. Nothing particularly fancy. But it is perfect. It&#8...And t...

Metaphor: Kvetch, kvetch, kvetch

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006/03/kvetch-kvetch-kvetch.html

Progress on CD #2. Friday, March 24, 2006. Kvetch, kvetch, kvetch. So, OK. I haven't blogged in a few days. So, Robbi Sherwin sends me an email kvetching that I haven't blogged in a few days. Who knew anybody was actually reading? I mean besides my mother. I'm at work right now. It's Friday, Shabbos. And I've got to go and bake some challah and lead a Shabbos sing-a-long. See - wouldn't YOU like to live at Stone Gardens? But, I just want you to know that I have blogged. I blogged in Noah's Notes.

Metaphor: Soul-mates

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006/03/soul-mates.html

Progress on CD #2. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Here’s an article from a previous year.). I’ll post the rest of this blog in Noah’s Attic. So I can get back to the recording here. So, recording with the Prayer Warriors. 8230;On Saturday, March 11, Herb Thomas shows up with four of the Prayer Warriors. There are about 25, I think, in the group, but obviously, we couldn’t get all of them. However, these four shook the rafters all by themselves. I got the ultimate compliment (once they sang it and heard how it ...

Metaphor: The CD is Done!

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2007/01/cd-is-done.html

Progress on CD #2. Saturday, January 20, 2007. The CD is Done! The CD is done! I’m holding it in my hands. It looks great. It sounds great. I’m very happy and proud of this product. Mastering and pressing really worked well for it. It’s all about compression. I can’t tell you how important the Mastering. And a good mastering job will offset much of that, among other things. It starts with “Metaphor” and hooks you with that funky percussion intro. At least, that’s what I hope. 8220;Fire” is next&#46...

Metaphor: Yes, Master

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006/10/yes-master.html

Progress on CD #2. Saturday, October 07, 2006. I got the mastered CD today. Either this guy (mastering engineer) is really good, or I just don’t have the ears to hear where I’ve lost any quality to compression and whatnot. I’m betting on a combination of both. That one is louder and the other is softer by keeping the integrity and the nuance and the spirit and the soul of the songs intact, while making the overall level about the same. Got it? Skipping over it during listen-throughs. Are We There Yet?

Metaphor: Glossary

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006/01/glossary.html

Progress on CD #2. Tuesday, January 10, 2006. A recorded rhythm track (metronome, drums or simulated drums) that the musicians hear in their headphones to keep them in tempo and on the right beats, but which may or may not (usually not) be used in the final mix. Is a major label. 2) Righteous Babe Records. Is an indie label and inherently tied to Ani DiFranco, her style of music and the quality of her recordings.

Metaphor: Strings and Things

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006/06/strings-and-things.html

Progress on CD #2. Friday, June 02, 2006. I’m listening to it again – for the twenty-fifth time since Tuesday. Most of it is very nice. Some of it is downright ready. Some of it needs major remixing. Much of it needs a little tweaking. But all of it is ready to move on to this next phase. I’m harping on strings today (get it? Needless to say, I’m excited. More impressions of the near-final mix forthcoming. June 04, 2006 11:06 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Shul without Walls. Leon Adato, web...

Metaphor: Things and Stuff

http://noahsmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006/04/things-and-stuff_114590990240118651.html

Progress on CD #2. Monday, April 24, 2006. Not much to blog about these days. The tracks are still in the hands of the studio and we’re just waiting for word as to when we can get in do our final mix. I had a cool idea which I think you’ll be hearing more about in time. I’ve run the idea up the proverbial flagpole and somebody saluted. It’s an idea whose economic time has come. I call it “Bartering for Gigs.” Details forthcoming. Interested now? Email me ( noah@noahbudin.com. And I’ll send you info.
