I head off to Europe tomorrow, so today was the usual mad running around and getting ready. I also got the final master CD from the factory to check, it sounds really, really good. The last minute changes, plus the mastering they have done really makes it sound great, this is going to be exciting!
And on one of today’s orders for the Phonics CD one of the customers wrote that she ordered it because Mayuko Takata had recommended it on her “Just” TV show! Wow, that’s great!! The Phonics CD has proved to be a big success this year, especially with Japanese parents. So the year ends as it begins with another nice piece on TV.

Spent most of this time backing up all my data, there is so much of it! But the good thing is that whilst the computers are busy doing that I can’t be doing any work, so could take things a little easy. Which meant I got time to hit the music stores, check out some new sets of samples and find time to play around on the studio gear, cool!

This is such a great feeling, no workshops, no shows, no travelling and no deadlines!!!! Yeah!!!! It’s great, I’m free to do whatever I want!! And the strange thing is that I ended up doing more work in three days then I’ve done in ages, which is cool! And now that I have a really fantastic music system set up songwriting is back being fun again!

Today was the final day of the Nellie’s Bookstore and it was great to finish on a massively brilliant seminar! The teachers were mega genki and the energy in the room was just amazing, we were just ploughing through the material and they just loved it! Fantastic!
Tomorrow it’s off to KL and England, but don’t worry there are plenty of things I’ll be working on over 2 months!

Today is the big stress day again when I send a master CD off to the factory. Everything has to be checked, and checked, and checked, and checked again and is the most stressful part of this whole job!! Unlike the website where things can be changed later, here one mistake is very costly!! But I think it’s finally done!! And after getting what I hope is a great edit, plus the little musical review tracks it’s just what I wanted to make, and it should hopefully make a lot of teachers lives just a little bit easier.

You’d think it would be quite simple, just recording the words of the Classroom English page so that Japanese teachers can listen in their cars and get a little stress relief and confidence from being able to speak a little more English. But of course this is a Genki English CD so it has to be genki. But it also has to be understandable enough so that the teachers don’t lose heart and give up. This is quite a difficult tightrope to walk on and involved lots and lots of different edits. In the end I decided on slow, but genki readings of the words, with quite a small gap in between to keep things moving and let the teachers feel they’d had a gentle, but still worthwhile, work out. There are also some great technical things that I’ve been wanting to include which should make this CD very special indeed!
