Project Studios - A Change of Plan...

Andy and I are a bit like treacle sponge and custard - individually, we're still worthy of note but together we're much, much better...

And so after a few months of non-work, non-creativity, and non-progress we've re-shuffled our project studios. Again.

We now have our original main studio PC (complete with all our important plugins/sounds) at Andy's, in a room where we can both work together sensibly. It's this ability to work together that has been lacking recently - whilst we can write new stuff in our own separate spaces, without the opportunity to come together we've been unable to finish any new tracks, do any remixes, reworkings of old stuff, etc... Everything we'd been doing over the previous 6 months had ground to a halt, but now we are back in business!

Andy's still got his mobile ProTools rig, and I've got Ableton running at mine, so we still have our own even smaller project studios to work in as well. (However the transition from writing in Cubase to writing in Ableton for me will be an interesting change. Am trying to justify the upgrade to Live 8 Suite at the moment to aid my progress while the 20% sale is on!)

Anyway, we had our first studio session together in around 3 months last night and we were cracking on with a remix we've been hoping to get round to for AGES. Sounding heavyweight too - should be a good one. Hopefully, there's still enough time for us to finish it up - it's a forthcoming release on UrbanTorque, so it would be nice to get on board.

Meanwhile, we're putting together the finishing touches for the follow up to Red Sky, a completely free release of an old favourite track of ours. More details of this to follow soon!

2010 is our year. If you haven't already, pop over to your favourite digital download store and pick up a copy of Red Sky (Part 1 and Part 2), spread the word and if you make just one new year's resolution this year, let it be 'Eat More Cake'!
