With a trumpet, however, I could easily find someone to do it but much like the bassoon there's not much standout material for it and may not be worth the time. I'll be considering it
Would it really take more time to record a real trumpet than to get a virtual one to sound good? I assumed cost was the main obstacle for real instruments but that it took less time overall, assuming the performer is competent.

Yeah, recording takes longer than you'd think, even with a great musician. Shortest time to finish an instrument so far has been 8 hours @_@

I did some pricing on printing up scorebooks (though I sincerely doubt any of you here are interested in that).

Tomorrow, or well, today actually after I go to bed and then wake up, is an important day. I'm gonna ask arlen to do electric guitar, I'm going to call someone about the last lead I have for a cellist before resorting to buying solo string samples (which oddly will cost more than hiring a cellist), and I'm going to talk to my friend to commission that artwork I talked about forever ago during the donations time. I haven't forgotten about you, donators!

Plus I'm scheduling some recording sessions with already committed musicians. They want to finish what they have left by the end of February, which is good because that lines up with my timeline goals. Oh, and I'll be renting an alto flute, which kinda sucks because we have access to a free one in a different city, but nowhere to record there, but whatever.

Since pacman cares, I'll just mention getting the scorebook ready is interesting. Fun, yet tedious. Frustrating, yet relaxing. I'm trying to get everything to fit onto 8.5"x12" instead of 11"x17" (I don't know what that is in rest-of-the-world measurements) because I hate 11x17 and this is just meant as a study score little nifty item and that would just be too unwieldy. The problem is getting pages like this to fit on a page without clashing with each other and still be large enough to be readable:

Spoiler for big image:


I think how I have it should work. My test printing was fine, but I'm not sure if that's how it'll work when sent to the printer. Though, they indicate that whatever I send will actually end up looking slightly larger, so then I have to hope that nothing runs off the page :mad: I'll have to talk with them some more.

Also! I found an old tracklist I had ready, which is kinda neat. This was from back when I was planning From The Lake as a rock opera and our story was even more rudimentary than it is currently. I started writing a little before we had a story, and then kept writing as we developed it, coming up with themes and ideas for characters and stuff. But I never titled anything because I didn't know if we'd use it or where it would go in the story or often even what the story was, so for a long time all of the music was referred to by a number.



That obviously got annoying and confusing really fast so I started naming them things based off what we had, or where I imagined the story may go, or just completely random:

1. Pinkerton Overture: A Presentiment
2. Dearly Beloved
3. Just Like Yesterday
4. Catastrophe's Lament
5. Cascades
6. Where There's Tigers
7. Lovely Seconds
8. Across the Lake
9. Subversion
10. A Moment of Silence
11. I've Missed You
12. From The Heavens To The Lake

Obviously, a few of those titles stuck. "Cascades" became "As the Cacophony Grows". "Subversion" became "The Fat Man's Dance, 'Subversion'". "From the Heavens to the Lake" simply became "Finale and Reprise". "Where There's Tigers" became the title for something completely different. That's 6 tracks I ended up not using, for various reasons, though I know you're going to end up hearing at least some of them in some form in the future...

Won't be renting an alto flute :sadmoonfacefromthatthread:

The only places we can find to rent one has a 3 month minimum to rent, with $60 per month, shipping costs, $250+ deposit, and other fees. Waaay too much money for something that, while cooooooool, is of little significance and only appears in a very small amount of the music. Dang.

Scorebooks are probably going to have to wait until later in the year, after I've already released the music and everything. The whole thing is over 360 pages (!) and the minimum cost for that I can find, while still being a quality that is actually worth the effort, is at least $400. That's actually not much more expensive than I thought it would be, but we've got some unexpected expenses that have come up, like the car needs new tires and stuff like that. So, you know, be a responsible adult or get some books printed of interest to only few people when I could just do it later. Hm...

Dang, I didn't realize it had already been so long since I posted.

Good news: From The Lake is nearing completion! Recording is about 95% done.

Bad news: Recording won't be finished until at least May, possibly as late as July :(

Good news: That's not so bad though when you consider this has been going on for years

I was hoping that I would be posting here to announce a release date of next month, so that's how off-track things have gotten. But it can't be avoided and that's just the nature of working with lots of people. To make up for it, I'll be posting another demo soon, both as compensation and as a means to show that the sound quality (hopefully) isn't as garbage as that Dearly Beloved demo I posted back in August. Right now I'm waiting on arlen's tracks which he's supposed to send to me this week, so keep a look out for that.

There are other potential good and bad developments, but everything is kind of up in the air right now and I don't want to speak too soon. But the main thing to take away here is that the finished result is coming. Summer 2016

Receiving the arlen tracks now, they are great and he is great. I'm trying to figure out now how to fit guitars into an already full mix, so once I do that adequately enough I'll post another sneak peek to get your boners going (hopefully). I want to have it posted before Friday, but I'm not sure I'll be able to manage. I'm going to have my son from Friday until the 10th, so if I don't get it done before he gets here, it probably won't show up until mid April.
