Okay… I may be being a tad premature here… but, I THINK that my debut record will be ready for mixing in 2 to 4 weeks. Almost all of the vocals have been tracked at this point, leaving only 2 songs left. So my goal is to try and get one song done a week, and from there I’ll spend the remaining time thinking about any vocal harmonies and guitar solos to add, if any. So it’s close. I know I’ve missed tons of deadlines on this record already, but Mannequin City doesn’t pay the bills unfortunately, so if something has to get pushed to the side it’s this project. Sigh.

Now I actually need to start thinking about album art/photography, mixing, and mastering. These are all costly things. I’ll probably be setting up a Kickstarter page in a couple weeks, which hopefully will subsidize this whole process. AND then there’s the little detail about manufacturing and distribution. Yikes. Any labels/backers feel like funding a slacker? Don’t all raise your hand at the same time now.

I just uploaded a new track to Facebook. It’s a song that was written for the upcoming Mannequin City full-length “Which One Is The Robot?” The song is called “Coffee Drinkers”. Enjoy.

This is my latest pedal board setup, looking forward to adding more to it soon. The signal path is as follows:

Keeley 4-knob compressor->Ibanez TS9->MXR 10-band EQ->DigiTech Whammy Pedal->Ernie Ball Volume Pedal->Vox Time Machine delay->Electro Harmonic Holy Grail reverb. I have a boss chromatic tuner in the tuner output of the volume pedal.
