Recording vocals for Better Than The Book has started, 1 year anniversary for the Jabun - Daydream album + a new mastering demo reel!

10/5/2018

Hello everyone and hope you've had a great week since the last blog post. It's been a busy week for me sorting out stuff for the upcoming JabunAudio newsletter, putting together the latest mastering demo reel (more on that in a moment), interacting with the online community more and meeting some great like-minded individuals around the world, and with my hay fever finally cleared up, recording vocals for the new Better Than The Book album! A fair few things to share and celebrate this week, so let's start with some BTTB news. 

As mentioned previously, after a few week's delay due to holiday and hay fever I finally made a start on vocals for the upcoming Better Than The Book album on Tuesday! Not much else to report on that, but for now it's going well and I'm aiming to get 3 tracks finished by the end of this week, and all the lead and backing (maybe not gang) vocals sorted by the 25th, which'll be a tricky target. I'll keep you updated on how things go. It's certainly great to be in front of the mic again though!

Next this week a big celebration as last Friday (May 4th), my debut album as Jabun "Daydream" celebrated its 1st anniversary! It seems like ages ago since I released this, but listening back I'm still very proud of how it turned out and the attention it receive via various re-post on YouTube and interview features. While I'm very excited to be working on Better Than The Book at the moment, I look forward to getting back to Jabun for a chill break at some point and sending some atmospheric vibes your way! If you've yet to hear Daydream, feel free to listen below (be sure to start from the beginning), and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!

Lastly this week, I finally got around to putting together a mastering demo reel for 2018. This time it's comprised of all the covers I recorded at the end of last year, and as usual for each pair of clips, the first is the final mix before mastering, and the second is the final master as delivered. You can find all the previous demo reels on the front page of this site or on SoundCloud here, and as usual, it's freely downloadable for your reference. I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to message me if you like what you hear and are in need of some mastering today. I look forward to working with you.

That's about it for this week. Next week looks to be more Better Than The Book vocals and doing the final preparations for launching the JabunAudio newsletter. I still need to finish off the Patreon page too, though that feels a little further from completion so I'm concentrating on the closer / more urgent goals at the moment. As usual, I'll keep you updated as to any developments. Anyways, I hope you have a great week whatever you get up to and as always thanks for supporting JabunAudio and my various music projects. See you in the next blog post and take care until them.

Happy Daydreaming Anniversary! :) And good news overall.

Recording deadline set for the same date GDPR launches too... good or bad as that may be! As an entrepreneur with client data I guess you're affected too? Curious if you're preparing for that at all?

All the best for this week; see you then!

Many thanks :D

Well, recording deadline has needed to be pushed due to illness, but more on that next week... I'm not sure if I'm effected by GDPR, but I've got a tab pinned with the information to look over. Hopefully shouldn't be a problem :)

And to you too! All the best :)

Ah yes, the infernal hay fever (if that is what it still is).. Well it seems like everyone who deals with clients within the EU are affected to some extent, but you definitely have things a bit easier when you're out. :) At the place I work right now I'm in charge of assessing what we need to change and as it turns out there's a looooot we need to change... not just regarding user consent but with how basically all client data is handled and stored.

In your case, at the least EU clients will have a right to request a transcript on everything you store on them, to be forgotten unless you need their data for other (lawful) reasons than to fulfill an obligation towards them, and to not receive direct marketing or be profiled unless they really opt in - and have an easy way to opt out. Maybe that's it but... good luck going through that. :) It's a lot of gray area...

Yeah... hay-fever doesn't help, but I think it was more than that this time, I'll post about it in the next blog post (May 24th).

Indeed it does seem a bit grey this whole GDPR thing. For most client stuff no data is stored on my end, it's just email correspondence, so I doubt that should be a problem. I need to send a "do you still want to hear from me" email out to the BTTB mailing list though. I think those mailing lists are the main concern at the moment.

Ah, alright... coincidentally the same date I leave on my next trip, but will stay tuned!

Well we have to deal with email too - more so than the other platforms considering it's not classed as a secure method of communication, but hopefully that's different for you! For sure.
