It’s time for a new demo album I think!

I’ve been thinking lately that I think it’s about time for me to go back into the studio to record some songs again. Profesional studio quality. I’ve made a 10 song studio demo album way back in 2006 and when I put that out for the internet, it was a success. I’ve got good responses on the songs. I titled it “Dedication” for internet release. All those songs I wrote on it, “Evil Fred”, “Mr. Tough Guy”, “Time Bomb”, etc. were all written and recorded back in 2006. I feel that disc was a success since it got a good internet response and people has requested burned copies of that CD in person which I did give out to good amount of folks out there.

I’ve been writing new songs over the last two years since that disc. As you heard some of them already, the newer songs such as “Heroes Can Save You”, “Demons Have Taken Your Soul”, “Brain Is Gone”, “Be On the Run”, etc. I think it’s about time to make a new 10 song studio demo of those new songs this year. I don’t want to bring older songs back, I want to keep writing the new ones, keep making new and fresh ideas. To be more original. You don’t want to repeat yourself musically.

Whenever I discover the 10 new songs to put on the next disc, I will definitely go back into the studio again. I’m just waiting for the good songs to release publicily. Of course, I’ll record a few brand new songs for the demo album that no one’s ever heard before just like I did with the last one.

I actually would love to release a real CD sometime, a CD with a CD booklet, lyrics, credits, cover art, etc. But like I always say, I can’t afford all that profesional CD manufacturing although I would like to do something like that in the future. I’m not a wealthy enough person to have my own profesional album. But I can afford studio time though, that’s about it. I just go into the studio record the tunes, and give out burned copies of my music for free to whoever wants one.

I think I will go back into the studio again, possibly next year in 2009. I need a new batch of songs to put out. I’m thinking of going for Edie Road studios in Greenwich, Marc Fuller’s studio. Rob Skane has been reccomending me to try recording there at some point and I’m actually thinking about it.

I’m a musician and songwriter and always writing stuff all the time. I’m just like everyone else that I enjoy getting my songs heard by people too whether people hate it or enjoy it. It’s all good. Yep, I definitely need to release a new demo CD soon.

I do record my songs on Pro Tools, but I’m no Pro Tools expert “yet”. I’m not a profesional producer enough so I can sound great in my Pro Tools. For now I just use Pro Tools to record my songs just to get the music off my chest like what you do on a regular 4 track. I would like another batch of studio quality songs which is why I’m thinking about getting studio time again.

Having studio quality songs in perfect sound is nice ’cause you get a much better response from listeners. The next one will probably be the same thing, just me and my acoustic. No full band yet, I don’t think. A 2nd demo will happen soon. Probably next year in 2009 so I can come up with some cash for studio time because this summer I’m saving money for my vacation for San Diego in August, I got my flight booked already!
