Was getting excited about wrapping up the album next week. Been working on it for a year. But then a couple nights ago it happened….hard drive failure. I lost a lot of data. I bought a brand new drive earlier this week with the intention of backing up some things. Welp, my main studio drive with the new album on it burnt out 🙃 Its been a really hard week for us and this just took it up a notch…After the feelings of dread and rage subsided I started trying to salvage what I could from the drive. About 4 songs are totally gone and I’ve had to come up with some creative workarounds to rebuild them. Also me and the guys share a Dropbox folder and a lot of their parts were still accessible. The project for the new single that’s coming out February 17th (don’t tell anyone 🤫) got erased. So if we ever want to remix it or something we’re gonna have to record it again 🫠 So here I am recording a riff I already played last summer. This song fucks btw. We got Trish from Hirie on it too. Hoping I can get this all done before we leave for tour next week and we won’t have to push the record back. As much I it sucks to have to back and do all the editing and recreate all the cool sounds and fx I did months ago, I am taking this as chance to keep learning and honing my producing and engineering chops. It’s not a loss, it’s an experience…
Ok, gotta get back to work 🦒 -Howi
