Evan's Album - Progress report

[EvanBerard]

As some of you guys know, I'm currently workin' on an album made entirely with Riffworks (...and my guitar).

Track 1: Burning Fury (it would be nice to have vocals done by Ron (NEPHEW13)

Track 2: Going Down in Flames (It would also be nice to have vocals done by Ron (NEPHEW13)... There's a synth'd up version with AlexanderK, Rotund, and of course Jan!)

Track 3: Sell Your Soul... To Rock and Roll (It's Rifflinked, I have lyrics...)

Track 4: Eclipse (thanks Rick and bobbo)

Track 5: Friday Rock (thanks sam, I have a version with fixed solos, hasn't been posted)

Track 6: Arrow of Time (Guitar solo)

Track 7: Outside the ship (There's another version that hasn't been posted with sam on crazy guitar FX!)

Track 8: TBA

Track 9: Heat Shock (Rlp, bobbo, nephew)

Track 10: TBA

I'm gonna sign up with nimbit to get it up on itunes and get a few physical CDs. There's so many different musicians on all these songs, I can't really call it a solo album... I Gotta credit all you guys... thanks so much

Stay tuned!

EDIT: I would like to get it mastered, but I don't know if I would be able to shell out the mula for it

Hell Yeah!

Nice work Evan!

Go Evan Go!

May I be so bold as to suggest having Gator master the project. It's always a good idea to have an "outside" source mixing and mastering. Rick Andrews among a few others can vouch for him and his audio wisdom.

[Rotund]

Evan- Rifflink has been giving me so many problems I have not been able to finish anything I have done with anyone and I am actually back to making a real living. So with the inconsistancy it makes it difficult to contribute. Maybe to everyone's favor there I do appreciate your mention above and of course would finish or add anything under your guidance on "going down in flames" or mute which I assume you had done. Anyway I am still around if anyone would like to collaborate or have a Rotund add or two.

Hey Evan.. good to hear the progress and it was my pleasure to help you, I enjoyed it. Feel free to ask for more if you need, or want it. Can't wait to hear the final product..

Hey Even, a nice work ! You should know, I am from professional master of skulpture and every day I make draft, not only for humanity presentations, for advertising too ( since 33 years ). As I said, a nice work !!!

I could master it for ya with my pro-tools system, but it DEFINETLY wont be cheap. I dont do that kinda stuff for free anymore. last time I mastered something for someone, I charged $250 a song (which is dirt cheap actually.)

[ShredRex]

Gator will do it for a lot less:

I second that motion.

[pooterpatty]

Gator is the dude. He's got a lot of experience mastering songs created in Riffworks.

[EvanBerard]

Hey thanks for the suggestions, compliments, and comments - I checked out JJ's site - it certainly looks like a good idea to go with that... we'll see...

I think I'm gonna place another track on top called "Prologue" which will be a short, scary, hellish FX, synth kinda thing, and track 11 will be called "Epilogue" which will be a regular song with an EPIC outro to finish off the CD.

I'm pretty much done the artwork now (it's all just cool designs) - Just have to do the two pages inside the booklet with text.

epic.

Hey guys, if you want to be credited, it's preferable to use your full names, which I do not have for the most of y'all
