Tracks!

Did the final edits on "Little Computing Machine" this morning. Might have just a trifle too much reverb, but it'll take another listen or two to be sure. And it may need a bit of auto-duck on the choruses. But that was the last piece of the puzzle.

From here on it's all tweaking.

7:10 -- edited out the last second or so of "Cicero" -- there were some odd clicks in the guitar track. No big deal, but I'm glad I caught them. I gave the complete set of oggs a listen at work.

8:00 -- last tweaks on "LCM" and a full listen on headphones. Sounding good. If the graphics were done (stupid Bear!) I'd be tempted to ship it tomorrow. Probably just as well I can't.

(The mood is accurate: I have a long history of not finishing projects, and I've been sort of ok with that. Commitment is, in its way, frightening. The fact that I'm about a week away from shipping off a stack of disks, paperwork, and a substantial check to a duplicating house is, frankly, scary.)

9:38 -- more like a week and a half before the artwork is done. Hopefully not as long as two weeks, but we'll see.

Hacks

Added short-form track credits to some of the various listing formats. In general, this replaces timings (which mostly aren't all that useful except on places like the tray card) with the name of the songwriter, or lyricist/composer if they're different. You can see the results here, for example.
