Bank Holiday Monday, and I'm down in the depths of Tin Pan Alley. I drove in today, as parking restrictions and congestion charge don't apply on Sundays and Public Holidays. There's a strange 'vibe' in the studio. Songdog are debating mixes and some of the debates are a bit heated, in an understated way. Steve seems caught in the middle of it all. At the risk of 'running with the hare and hunting with the hounds' I'm doing my best to keep everyone on an even balance, which is not always easy, but...
Eyes on the task in hand.
Finger's crossed.
Have a great holiday (for those of you that don't have to work).

Ah. There have been some developments.
Steve has agreed to mix the tracks and pass them to Nick (the producer) for approval, in the old fashioned way. Steve's a very good mixing engineer, but now the pressure's on him, poor bunny. A position exposed to a huge amount of scrutiny, and one he didn't expect. I remain confident that he'll get the best from the tracks.
In the middle of all this kerfuffle I had a 'phone call from a New York based company asking if we had any time today for one of their artists. I had to explain that we were booked out for the next week, and couldn't help. I didn't even find out who the artist was. Bright man, Ninefingers.
Oh well.
