The audio mastering for the new Testube album Off Purpose is now complete! It's been a long, difficult process battling numerous hardware defects, but I'm quite pleased with the final outcome. I hope you all will be, too.

Just need to finish up the artwork!
Stay tuned.

Just wanted to post an update on the new Testube album titled Off Purpose. I was hoping to have everything release-ready by the end of this month, and that may still happen, but things have gotten very busy with my day job, and I'm also committed to a local cause that is taking up more of my time than expected.

Tomorrow, I am going to try out a little mastering experiment with the new album. Rather than transfer songs from the new Testube album to a CDr and test-listen to it in the car, only to then return and make adjustments in the studio, I'm going to try and do some tweaking while in the car itself. I'm going to setup my laptop workstation in our minivan and run the audio directly into the car stereo. What better way to simulate a car cabin listening environment?  keep reading »

I've just completed one of the most accessible tracks of the upcoming Testube Off Purpose album. The track is titled "Lost and Found" and features vocals and lyrics by Jonathan Chalker (LOWHERO.DLL). You can check it out here:

Let me know what you think! I had a great time working with Jonathan and his slick vocal style, and hope to collaborate with him some more in the near future.  keep reading »
