The quality isn't exactly the best, I remember your recordings sounded much less compressed before, but now it sounds like the mic's too close to the kit. Was that the trouble you had?

About the title, I'd keep Take 2 simply because it sounds better to me.

For the title, how about 'Crimson'. It sounds a cool name that matches the general theme of the EP, love as hpotter134 said. It has not been taken for an album name or song previously (except by some amateur Japanese, I believe  ). I am drawn to the thought that this may be a good, fitting title for the EP at long last! 

Sounds good 

Thanks! I know, it sounds quite a good name.

Crimson
Doesn't say anything about love. In fact, in a biblical context that is often associated with crimson, it symbolizes sin!

When I think of crimson, I think of the dark red that is blood... 

It is said to become crimson is to blush or be in love... It is the best and most fitting name we have for the EP.

So you are implying that a synonym for love would be a good name for our EP.

But I just don't think Crimson is the right one.

How about Passion, or Lust?

Lust is way too extreme. It gets too sexual for Scratch. Crimson is still would think. Passion is already the name of a fairly known album cover btw. Crimson sounds the best name we have so far. jslomba also liked it. It's unique. I propose we keep it that way.

Maybe Crimson with some other word, to make sure we're not referring to the violent context to which it is associated. Either that or Take 2, of course.

Well, I think Techno, Shadow and designer liked Take 2... 

Techno and designer never said that...

I think it would be nice to stick to Crimson like you said, techno, and add something like 'love' at the end.

Crimson Love sounds pretty good, if I did come up with it myself and say so myself.

Hey techno, do you think I should still put that ad about WIBY in my game trailer I was talking about? It will be released around 25th January. Will it be too old then?

I'm not part of the band, but do you think Passion of Music is a good idea for an album name?

Techno, the final images for the album cover are done with my new title.

- Un-cropped version
- Cropped version

Nice!

Thank you! 

Techno, are you still aloud?

The cropped version looks a lot better like I expected, but the "Crimson Love, a collection of songs" text has some pretty ugly white pixels around it, makes the whole image look amateurish. Try fixing that?

I have pretty much all parts for Lazy Sunday Jam except the drums (jslomba recorded them but the quality was bad and the mic clipped quite a bit... If you're reading this, would you mind trying again?) and piano.

I can probably record it tomorrow.

Yeah. I can fix that. 

Guys, meanwhile as I redo the album art without the white spots, I created some signatures that we can use. The WIBY one is a bit old (about a month or so), so until Crimson Love is released, I created this one:

Notice that details in the actual cover are displayed here such as the guitar, wall cladding, etc.

Band members, update your sigs!

Nice. I think it's a bit too soon to use those though, we need to record and mix 3 more songs. 

@above, pretty sure we only have a single vocalist (designer45) and most likely that won't change. Sorry.
