Look at Stevie's leg propped up on the console. Still limber. Must be the ballet.

It's quite exciting that they're at the mixing stage. If only Dave would tweet a track-listing for the album. I'm desperate to know if certain songs have been recorded.

Is mixing the last stage?

I believe mastering is the last stage... mixing is the second to last step.

Mastering, a form of audio post-production, is the process of preparing and transferring recorded audio from a source containing the final mix to a data storage device (the master); the source from which all copies will be produced.

mixing is the last step the artist is (or can be) part of. once it goes off to be mastered, it's locked down as is. It is, very simplistically speaking, deciding which of the zillion tracks to each song get more prominent and others less prominent (e.g., you can hear more or less of the bass, the drums, the backing vocals whatever).

If you watched the Destiny Rules documentary, this is the part where they worked with Mark Needham (and briefly Chris Lord-Alge) and spent all those hours smoking pot-- I mean listening to mixes in the studio.

I don't really like Dave Stewart... He was great with Eurythmics... But IYD was... a little too polished for my taste.

However, I will thank him for being a steady source of Stevie Nicks related news
and perhaps providing the impetus for Stevie to record again.

I have friends who has similar music interests (they are big fans of Tom Petty). Yet Stevie isn't of any interest to them for various reason - one of them being her voice, I knew they would never be fans and run out to buy her music, but I wanted to, at the very least, establish Stevie's credibility with them. At a dinner party I played the In Your Dreams album. It worked! They enjoyed the album, so I succeeded in changing their perspective about her.

I don't understand the fans who find a problem with the album, which I think is one of her most solid works. There are strengths and weaknesses in most of her albums, but I've learned to love all of them. They are familiar; like comfort food.

Really? In listening to Stevie and Tom, their voices are extremely similar. That's why they sound so good together.

She is a better singer than Tom Petty.
