Yesterday marked the clearing of the last hurdle in the completion of the new CD “Today”. We finally got the artwork proofs done after four edit revisions. As I was standing at the bus stop waiting on my sons to arrive home this week, one of the neighbors asked me how the CD project was coming along. When the group began to discuss this long awaited CD, another good friend said that “the last 10% of any project is harder than the first 90!” After self producing this CD, I would have to agree with him.
The detail in adding the last tracks for sweetening the tunes, the edits in mixing, the proofreading and liner notes were the toughest parts. That being said, when those things are done well, they turn a good project into Great! Live in the big picture, execute with excellence, and dwell in the details long enough to make the project extraordinary. This is as true in making a CD as it is in remodeling a kitchen or baking a cake for a friends birthday.
Everyone have a great weekend!
