I think mastering doesn't take a long time. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks.

[JSapp]

So I read again yesterday its almost done. I am so freakin stoked! Cant wait!

[ItsSoPringles]

my love is winter is on it? good i can die happy then

the anticipation on this is killing me, words cant describe the htype i have right now, that dual solo thing sounds epic, if the solo is anywhere near as good as in pomp and circumstance(haters gonna hate) then ill be more than satisfied

That long? Jeez.

Okay, so if mixing is done Sept. 22nd (ish) then mastering should be done around October 3rd (ish). If it's the "November area" that's a month later. If there's going to be months between digital and physical releases, why wait til digital comes out? Promotion of digital??????

[AlienCloak]

It'll be out on Oct. 5.

Actually, you can master a song in about one hour. Anyway, it could take more time... but Billy said Oceania will be finished in about 1 week and I think he's counting mastering and everything.

I just hope monte's audio isn't shitty like the record store day videos.

[breathesgelatin]

Yeah, please, someone, record this on a good audio deck. I'd much rather have good audio than video. Having both is nice (eg the Petaluma DVD Monte made), but good video without good audio is kind of a cocktease since what I'm mostly interested in is the music, not imagery of Billy et al.

The 2010 really show a dropoff in the taping community. I'm not sure if that's because a lot of tapers quit paying attention when Jimmy left, or because they weren't playing a ton of brand new songs on that tour. I'm just kind of terrified what's going to happen on this tour.

EDIT: Although I guess Billy tweeted about trying to make the live shows available online again this time. Now THERE'S a question for Bill's corner.

Pretty amazing if his original estimate of when we'd hear it is only off by a couple of months.

I'm going to the show on October 5 so hopefully I'll hear some of it then.

[nasalscarecrow]

Cool.

[adamdanger!]

Mastering does not take long depending on the project. It's really just making the levels releatively the same for a number of songs so that the final product has isn't all over the place volume-wise/eq wise. I would anticipate this would only take a couple days at most for Oash. If it were recorded in a bunch of different studios with a bunch of different engineers/producers recording at different levels, it could take much longer.

The studio I used to work at would master/remaster a 13 track album in under 8 hours.

Quasar (hope it's not Stella Polaris)
Pinwheels
Oceania
Violet Rays

[judas]

taking a guess at the last two, which don't appear to be part of the album...

The Coronation Failure
The Parade of Helios

b-sides? anyone recognize these titles?

[orchidaii]

Yep - there are the 13 songs :D/>

Except it looks like the official title is "Four Winds Chime".

Are those b-sides at the bottom? Charades, The Coronation of Failure (I think), The P... of Helios or Heroes?

[ShamanO]

wasn't there a song listed as Helios back on the old white board pic? this can't be the same exact one?

oh and

OMG I AM FREAKING EXCITED!!

[link343]

Can't wait! Now all we need are release dates and we're good to go!

[Parksey]

:drama:/>

[MachinesOfLight]

estimated release date? artwork? I'm a bit out of the loop.

[agent_cooper]

Don't like to admit it, but I'm stoked for this, really exciting!

Billy Billy Corgan Oceania is done... I am so proud of this record, and this band.[color=#2FC2EF !important]5 uur geleden

On a sidenote, some wishful part of me still wants Pinwheels to "turn your way / turn... your way" [/color]

What do u mean by that? Isn't it supposed to be the same song that had 3 tentative titles?

I think they mean the song title is still Quasar an hasn't been changed like Lightning Strikes.
