Máis Time para Time

Hoxe lín unha nova sobre o disco máis retrasado (en canto a tempo, gañanes XD) da historia do Metal: o Time de Wintersun, que levan preparando desde hai xa 7 anos e a cada pouco dicen que hai un novo problema coa masterización, cun dedo roto, con blabla.. e hai que pospoñer a salida do disco durante "x" meses máis....

A nota que deixou Teemu, o guitarra de Wintersun, fala sobre os planes de futuro da banda é un pouco irrisorea, aparte dos próximos concertos, que xa se aventura (igual con certa sorna) a decir que non se cancelarán, o home fala dos sucesivos aplazamentos de Time: dice que Jari se puxo a mezclalo en Febreiro e que agora mesmo está en congelación porque "o equipo non pode soportar o proyecto masivo"???? XDDDDD
Dice que Jari está cambiando pouco a pouco o seu Mac e o Cubase pero que como de momento lle faltan plugins e que non pode utilizar máis de 4Gb de RAM (??????) Pero qué moto nos están vendendo??? jajaj Vai ser que o señor Jari vai ter que alquilar o ordenador da NASA para acabar a súa obra maestra... ou eso ou haberá que facer unha colecta para comprarlle as pezas informáticas para que acabe o dichoso álbum...
e digo eu... e logo non lle poden pedir prestado un ordenador a alguén ou algo así? jajaj aihaih

Por outro lado, Teemu dice que esteñamos atentos, que na súa xira tocarán uns apoteósicos 10 minutos!!! do novo material... 10!!! enteiros!! (...) qué detalle..

Éste é o comunicado:

The work on the album has been progressing but is on hold at the moment.

Jari started mixing Time in the beginning of February but had to put it on hold for now, because his equipment still can't quite handle the massive project.

Jari's been upgrading his home studio equipment bit by bit and has now the latest Mac Pro and Cubase 6 but most of the plugins he'd need for mixing don't exist in 64-bit format yet, so he still can't use more than 4GB of RAM.

With hundreds of tracks in each song project, the 4GB RAM limit is making his system unstable and basically impossible to work with.

Some of these 64-bit plugin updates were supposed to be released already in the beginning of 2011, but we're still waiting. Once the plugins are out and Jari gets his whole system finally working at 64-bit format and without RAM limit, the mixing will continue - hopefully much smoother and faster than before.

Meanwhile we've been preparing for the upcoming live shows by redesigning our whole live equipment setup: wireless systems, in-ear monitoring, backing tracks, pedalboards, rack cases etc.

Jari and I have been practising together for a while now, and Jukka (who injured his finger a while ago, but is already better now) will be joining us next week and Kai in a couple of weeks.

It'll be really cool getting to play live together again, especially since the band has been "inactive" for so long now. This time there won't be any cancellations, and besides the old songs we will be playing over 10 minutes of new material...

Hope to see you at the shows!

-Teemu
