So cold.....so cold....

i love this studio dearly, but when the temperature drops it is freezing. because it is a converted garage, it has no heat source. i have a space heater going at full blast constantly and it is still incredibly cold. sooner or later i'll upgrade to a window a/c and heat unit but in the meantime my toes are numb and it is only getting colder (the projected low for DC this week on thursday is 15 degrees and friday 13 degrees).

otherwise, things are going surprisingly well. have the better part of four songs done. it's taking me less than half of the time it took me to record "the wolf." having an 8-input interface now is a very good thing. for years i've just had a two channel, which meant that anytime i wanted to start recording another instrument i had to move mics, mic-stands, cables, etc... around and change all of the levels for each instrument. it made recording drums especially nightmarish.

meanwhile i'm trying to stay warm. warm us all, johnny....
