After 40 Years My Album is Finally Coming Out

Post by chrisshort »

The day has come and my Debut Album is ready for the public. Created on Mixcraft 9, it was a 40 year journey creating these songs starting all the way back in high school until now.

I will be releasing singles on a bi weekly basis starting on January 4th with the full album (which will be a bit different) sometime at the end of March.
So far I have teaser clips on my Youtube page:

I was able to set up my Official Spotify Artist Page for people to follow Here:

Plus the Album Landing Web page for more of the backstory:

Let me know what you think!

Let's see...
I understand that this album has taken you 40 years to compose and produce?
I hear that the singer is you but there are also women in some songs.
I don't quite understand, have you recorded with other musicians and singers and with real instruments, have you mixed and mastered with Mixcraft?

Anyway...I loved it, I'm sure you're having great success, it sounds very professional, my most sincere congratulations, you've been a discovery.

Thank you very much for your music.

A big greeting.
Sorry for the translation, it may create some confusion.
I also apologize if it took me a while to respond, there is a time difference in the country where I live and it could coincide at night.

Thanks for listening! Mixed and mastered on Mixcraft 9. The quick recap. I 've been writing most of these songs since my junior year in high school. Couldn't do proper recordings until the DAW technology. Even then, regular life got in the way. Cut to 2 years ago, I do a deep dive with my 38 plus year old songs and polish up the writing . Added real performances and vocalists to sing (not me singing by the way) and this was the end result. Most of this is covered in that Muddy Colors post I did as well.
