In the days before CDs we used to release cassettes. Often digitally recorded. It has been my intention to remaster and re-release these to CDr. Last year I did this for 3 Storm Thieves albums. Now I wanted to start with The Rain Garden albums. Starting with our 3rd album fro 1991 - practical Candle Magic - perhaps our 1st mature recording with a digital master.
Wiuth this kind of job I have to work out a different methodology in each case - I did start the night before but on todays listening I found any stereo enhancement wasn;t helping. once I worked out what to do in this case it all went pretty easily - just needed to reduce the odd boom of tabla or keyboard and then multiband compression and then overall compression to bring the level up.
Need to agree artwork with Carl the Sitar - the old cassette artwork was a bit limited as we could only afford black&white printing. Found a few possible photos on Dreamstime.

I also did a bit of mastering on the new Govannen Live album and looked for some photos for that too.

Nice feedback today from someone online who raved about my solo piano album Sanctuary which is gratifying. Plus nice email from a lass who really dug the Jazz Orient gig. Then I sold a River of Life CD online tonight. Coolness in threes!

The Vizier worked over my laptop in the end - he had to wipe and start again - I will add my music stuff and see if the shutdown problem happens again.
