Mastering

Another big day.  Really cool though because I did my very first mastering session today with Greg @ Pyramind.  He sat down with me in the "Vault" [pro tools hd room  - freaking proper studio!!!]  and we went through the Harvey Milk track and mastered it together.  I learned a bunch of techniques and it was a very cool opportunity for me to sit down with the head of our school and get a private mastering tutorial.  Veryyyyy cool :)

Now just gearing up for the big weekend.  Still a bunch to do, need to test my live set and I still don't even really have my dj sets ready.  Could be that I just do it "on the fly" style which can be cool in it's own way since you can improvise and go with the inspiration of the moment.  Sometimes thought it's nice to have it all mapped out so you can just roll through it and spend time between mixes working the crowd not stressin the next track.....  we'll see.  I get some time tomorrow so I should be able to get a general playlist put together then.

Not much help coming from other people on the setup but sometimes it just goes that way.  Somehow though John and I always manage to pull it off.  I swear, we are a two man army sometimes, lol.  And he is leaving town monday so I'm getting stuck with all the rental returns!  haha, that's alright though, I get at least the experience of dj'ing for over 5,000 people.  So if I have to return a generator and some equipment in exchange, it's not a bad deal :)  Seriously have 2 of the best dj gigs of the year coming up this weekend AND the live set to boot.  It's just crazy!  It really does pour when it rains!  

Alright, time for sleeping!  Big weekend ahead.  Good times, San Francisco, good times and goodnight.
