revisiting a song + day trip!! (Patreon)

I made a whole post 6 hours ago but I'm not seeing it in the list of my latest posts so I'm rewriting and posting again, RIP. Fingers crossed that this one posts correctly.

Pictured above: me playing Wyatt's upright bass in his studio, and some pics from our day trip.

I had told Wyatt that I thought we should celebrate all the work we did with a day trip, and he suggested Kingston, NY!

Yesterday, we drove up the highway winding through autumn trees. We stopped for pho, banh mi, and dumplings in New Paltz on our way! I tried chili crisp by putting it on the dumplings and fell in love. 10/10 would go back to Pho Tibet. <3 In Kingston, we stopped at Rough Draft (book store, coffee shop, and bar) to peruse their book selection and explored some antique and record shops. The town is really sweet, quaint, and pretty.

Between yesterday and today, we revisited and finished backing vocals for Little Cherub. I was so tired last night, which makes it easier to make small but important mistakes (switching from head to chest voice in the wrong place, accidentally making small deviations from the line I had originally planned), but I fought through it! Tonight, I found that one of the lines I had written was too high up in my range, so I rearranged some vocal parts and they sound twice as good as they were before we re-recorded them, and I'm proud of that.

We also worked on some mix notes (things we want to adjust in the current mix - what we want to be louder, softer, more prominent, or to adjust the tone/timbre) for a couple of songs! We have a call scheduled with Doug to chat about the notes we made.

Hoping that this actually posts correctly this time! Thank you for reading! <3
