A step closer to release...
Sep. 25th, 2003 05:51 pmI've seen hints of this on my friends list but not the full scoop, so here it is. Courtesy of - where else - THE BOARD OF DOOM. Yes, to get the full effect that must be read in a very deep and ominous tone of voice. Like anything from THE BOARD OF DOOM, read with a grain of salt (and possibly crossed fingers).
JC showed up at Tony's show in NY last night, as witnessed by the fabulous![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saturn92103 and duly noted in her journal, complete with a picture of the Chasez. Woohoo!
DinaScalari posted this on the JJB: JC's Album Is Being Mastered Tomorrow - A friend of mine got that tid bit from the man himself tonight at Tony's show at the Bitter End. So it IS happening, slowly but surely.
jessicapurser explained what "mastering" means: Mastered is when the album is laid out so the sound is the same on all the tracks. Like, when we burn a CD, if the tracks are at different levels, the sound will go up and down and screw with you. It takes the CD down to one level.
It was mentioned that once it's mastered it's easier for tracks to be leaked. I'm assuming that's because outside types will have easier access to the music being worked on.
Someone questioned whether this meant the album selections were final (or as final as they're gonna get for the moment!).
JCssugarmama replied: It'll cost the label more money to re-sequence the album if they do so after the mastering process. It's just that the further along in the process you get, the more convincing the argument has to be to change things. But it happens all the time.
Edited to add: Thanks towithout_me for the heads up pointing me to this post in lovecat10036's journal, wherein lovecat details getting the above scoop from JC while at the show. Part of the conversation included the following:
JC: "The single's coming out in November, and the album is out at the beginning of the year."
My fingers are very tightly crossed. I can barely type...
