Dave Stewart once said “You never finish an album, there just comes a point where you have to let go”. Over the past few weeks I’ve been putting more and more in to CD5, and I’ve now come up against another barrier – a CD can’t hold any more! So that’s it, it’s finished! Last week was spent doing the final checks, and everything came out OK. It sometimes runs a little slow on old Pentium 3 or Mac OS9 machines, but it still works OK and on newer machines it is fantastic!! One of the things I do to double check the software on as many machines as possible is to pop along to the local computer store and check it on their machines ( they’re cool as I buy so much stuff there!). On the new big screen monitors it just looks fantastic!!! Doing the graphics in flash makes them look so good when blown up, so I’m very happy!

So tomorrow I’ll get the final checks of the inlays back and then it’s time to send everything off for mastering, and if everything goes well it should be ready for the beginning of May. Hopefully we’ll have a special “pre-order” offer on the site in the next couple of weeks!!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s finished! Getting the CD done is all I’ve thought about for 3 months, it’ll be strange to get back to normal, but then again I have to get all the new lesson plans and picture cards on the site!
