Buffy ,'Lessons'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I made a burn of mix mach one last night. One song sounds terrible, and I had problems copying it from CD, so I may try again, or pick another song.
I have decided at least two other songs must change. One is wrong for the mix, and the other ends weirdly because it segues into another song on the original album, and alone it just kind of stops, and you feel left hanging.
Re-tweaked yet again. I'm back to ver. 1, with some editing of a couple of the songs, time-wise, which allowed me to add one more category, so I'm up to the unrequited love song category. Revised liner notes here. Total time: 79 minutes, 29 seconds.
My OS and iTunes are so old that I can't just equalize the volume by clicking a button, so I just played about a minute of each song and equalized them (or as close as I could get) individually.
CD is burned, liner notes are printed, and I'm off to the Post Office in an hour.
79 minutes, 29 seconds.
That was the exact time my mix turned out to be, Steph!
Ahhhhh! Get outta my brain!!!!!
Sorry. Watched Family Guy last night.
Kitty!
I take it back -- with the pauses between tracks, it's 79:50.
It's not kitty!
I am one song short on the base 20 and am giving it a first listen through. There is certainly no unifying theme or sound.
The liner notes are long and almost done also. I will finish it up tomorrow.
I am refraining from looking at other people's liner notes. While I don't want to have songs in common, I also want the mix to be the pure mix of what I came up with.
Yeah, I didn't look at any notes until I was pretty sure my mix was set. Still have to write mt liner notes and do a cover design.
Not reading any liner notes until mix is done and liner notes are finished. I am such a copycat - I have to avoid them.
I am switching at least two songs. ONe just needs a better version, but the other one doesn't fit at all and I think I am going to be forced to use a much longer song. FEH!
