I listened to the tracks that were posted—everything sounded great!

I was talking with @jasonw22 and I think I will work on the mastering side of things for the release—which I will probably get started on this upcoming Friday. If anyone wants to update anything before then (such as track name or something about the file itself, or a late addition) that is totally fine, just let me know either by posting in this thread or messaging me.

Thanks!

I just logged in to lament that I missed the deadline (just moved to Winona Minnesota yesterday) but this is great news that I have a few days to finish now! @jlmitch5 I’ll upload mine by Friday, thanks!

I know I’m already way too late on this, but I think I have to admit defeat… made a number of iterations on some ideas over the last week (including projecting some of the sounds back into my apartment i’m-sitting-in-a-room-style to try the tin walls as a filter) and I just couldn’t make anything go.

I’m really looking forward to checking out the rest of the tracks though!

Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update on the progress of the compilation.

I’ve sat down with the tracks again and have gotten an order I’m pretty satisfied with. I believe the only things left are figuring out the design stuff, as well as small audio tweaks and level setting.

Can everyone double check that all the spelling, capitalization and naming is correct? Please post or send me a message if you notice an issue?

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give an update. @Olivier has nearly completed the artwork and it looks incredible, I am really exciting for y’all to see it.

The mastering situation is going okay–I am not making progress on it as fast as I would like. Because this is new to me, I’m probably being a bit obsessive about it (as I’m a bit nervous that I will make a naive error and “mess up” someone else’s track), combined with the fact I don’t really have a good and efficient “workflow” figured it out, it’s slow-going. I’ve “finished” tweaks and created the DDP for the first disc, and I feel like the relative listening experience across the release is pretty solid, but I still feel it’s not quite there when I A/B it up against other stuff I know well (though it is getting closer for sure). That being said, it has been a really rewarding learning experience, and after listening to the songs a lot, I really have enjoyed thinking about the different ways in which people chose to balance the sample (there are some interesting patterns and trends that have emerged).

I’m excited for everyone to be able to listen to and see the full package on this. Apologies that it is taking so long. My goal is to try to make at least a little progress everyday so that it will be done soon without it becoming too overwhelming and stressful. I appreciate everyone’s kind words, “likes” and encouragement throughout this process, and I appreciate the trust y’all have put in me to make it happen.

Thanks so much John! I think we can all agree that having you take your time and get it right, is an investment the community is willing to make in order to have another person available to organize and master LCRP compilations. It’s a very valuable gift you’re giving to us, as much as it is also a learning experience for you.

So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have no doubt you are taking LCRP to the next level.

Hey everyone, I am excited to finally share Day + Night!

I just wanted to thank everyone again for all their kind words and encouragement throughout the process of making this happen. And specifically thank @disquiet for the great idea for the compilation (and some editing help on some wording), @Olivier for the incredible art (he did a lot of really cool layout for the CD, which should be up and available for purchase in a week or so), and @jasonw22 for all of the time he spent helping to pass down the process of mastering and generally just helping to figure out all the questions that popped up.

I will share some more about the mastering process and the things I learned in a few days. If anyone is interested in sharing more about the processes they used to come up with their tracks, I think it would be really cool to discuss that here. Also please share that the release is out on social media or what not, if you’d like!

I’ll leave y’all with an excerpt of something I wrote about the release (this is on the bandcamp page in addition to some general things about LCRP for people who might be coming to it unfamiliar with lines).

As you listen, I’d encourage you to explore the ways in which certain sounds perform a call and response (either across the stereo, frequency or transient spectrum), how particular sound sources and spaces morph into others, and the way the tonalities of “day” and “night” move about (both in time and out of time).

Thanks and enjoy!
John
