Dude, its been a long time since I’ve done any blogging, what gives?  Well, I’ll tell you, things have been crazy for me and Nick here at Casa Nova Studios, but we got to take a MUCH needed vacation in the Catskill Mountains.  It may have just become my favourite place in the world to be.  We’re thinking about offering vacation/songwriting packages out to there, more on that as it develops.  

In the meantime, we’ve been developing a few songwriters and finishing up a few records.  There will be announcements on releases in the near future.  We’re going to be ramping up our web presence as well, so you’ll be seeing a lot more coming from the little control room we call home, including videos, interviews, demos, and more!  Our goal is to bring you deeper into the process of how we create, and in some way, making us seem a little less anti-social than we really are.  

We’ve done a lot to the studio in the past few months to streamline our operation, and we’ll be updating the gear on our page to reflect this.  We’ve been getting rid of anything we don’t need and turning that into things we DO need, and also really making our workflow very very efficient.  A lot of how Nick and I work relies on the usage of two computers (sometimes 3!) working in tandem, constantly exchanging sessions between them, and sometimes even synching them between and taking both audio and midi from each computer and having them interact.  This process can get confusing fast and we have taken great strides to work out a very straight-forward process to the best ways to do it. 

Anyway, its late.  More to come, I’m back on this blog thing.
