I have in my posession a disc with the masters to the new EP. Masters, in music terms (as opposed to Masters in other industries - i.e. Golf, Higher Education, Baiting) are the final, polished recordings as they'll eventually be delivered to iTunes, burned onto the CD's, and of course, blasted (at a reasonable volume) into your ears.
We had the album mastered by Rueben Cohen at Lurssen mastering, and of course, Dan and I went to sit in on the session, hang out with the guys, eat frozen pizza, and admire the Grammy awards they have sitting out not-so-subtly under a spotlight (hey, if you've got em, flaunt em!). Rueben worked his magic, running the audio signal through an analog system, where he added some compression (not too much!), adjusted the EQ, made a couple of other small adjustments, and then converted it back to digital. To those of you who glazed over during the last sentence, the record sounds amazing, and I'm really excited for you to hear it. We've set the official release date for November 16th, but those of you who contributed to the campaign are, of course, going to get it before that.
