Still Squawking!

Hello, and welcome back to Squawk Talk! I am your host (sorry, couldn't resist), Cole Millward!

What a busy few months it has been. School started back around the middle of August and my supply of time has been severely shortened. Still, my musical education is a good cause so no complaints from me! In addition, the recording sessions of my band's new EP have been coming to a head, and as the primary producer and recording engineer of the project, I have found plenty to work on in what time I have. So I have been taking a slight break in the production of my first Hairy Parrot EP, but now that the heaviest part of the band recording workload is finished, my attention is turning back to my own solo project.

Having gotten my hands on a new amp modeler and effects processor (the Line 6 Pod HD500), and for the sake of sound quality on the EP, I have decided to go back over Do Math!, Elephants, The Host, and songs 4 & 5 and re-record and re-mix guitar tracks. I find that the amp modeling on the HD500 is much more realistic than on the Boss GT100, why not use it to make the EP sound as good as possible? A slight setback, but I think you'll find it will sound so, so much better.

Further updates will follow! I shall keep you apprised of goings-on to the best of my ability!
