iamomI went to The Attic to see Universal Soul tonight, a local hip-hop crew that was, to the best of my knowledge, releasing a CD tonight. The PR for the gig was a gong show: The Coast reported a 10 PM start, but The Attic doesn't even open till 11 PM and the opening act didn't start until 1 AM! So needless to say, this has been a very, very late night. And I didn't even have a chance to pick up a copy of their CD. At 2:15 I finally threw in the towel and had to come home, exhausted. Wasn't a party animal tonight, that's for sure.
The DJ and MC who warmed up for USoul were tight -- Playboy on the decks and J-Bru or something on the mic. His rapping was pretty tight, but the overall production quality (particularly the vocal mix) was pretty low. They could have used somebody with better ears on the sound board, that's for damn sure.
I had a brief chat with one of the warm-up DJs before Playboy came on, and when I described the new rig I've been building for recording multi-track and producing on my laptop, his eyes widened. I took that as a good sign that I'm building a good set-up for production right now.
I'm hungry, very hungry to lay down my first tracks with drums and bass. And also to get listening to, and mixing down, our quartet's recording sessions from two weeks ago.
