Three more done. Spent most of the day working on a single track, codename "Preparations", we're not agreeing on which version to choose. So I mixed and produced both to a presentable state, and we'll let some more people listen and opiniate.
Also spent the last few hours on mixing and restructuring an energetic, bluesy track, several of us really like it, but I can't get the mix together. It either collapses from too much, or drops dead of dullness. Argh.
Got a blog comment from Michael of Propellerheads, reacting to my Leopard post with broken Rewire report. We briefly emailed, removing the Melodyne components from the Rewire folder fixed the issue. Celemony are the lazy ones, not the Props. Most impressive customer service! (Not so impressive blog system, who placed the comments wrong.)
I am extremely satisfied with the new Logic 8. I producing everything for the album in Logic 8, and as a .0 release it runs incredibly stable. There are some new functions that really makes my day over and over again, among them the "duplicate channel strip" and "hide/show all plugins" key commands. The only issue I have is the slowness of the GUI; whenever the CPU is maxxed out or the arrangement is super complex, everything runs molasses.
80 days to go tomorrow, I'll type up a larger Unicorn status report by then.
