C3 Hollow, now on iTunes

Firstly, the good news: lead time for getting a single onto iTunes: ~ one week.

Translation: the first weekly C3 single is now for sale on iTunes.

Let the fractions of fractions of fractions of pennies start rolling in!

Secondly, the other good news: a few orders started pouring in today.

Now the bad news: it’s 11:44pm and the two hours I just spent working on a what I’d hoped would be a quick Hollow video have ended without completion.

Why?  Vegas Pro 11 won’t render video without horrid glitches, regardless of the target output format.  The preview renders like a charm. Task Manager is happy. I have a core i7 machine with 16G of RAM. 

Seriously, WTF?  Do I have to move over to my Mac Pro for this allegedly simple task?

Really?

And the other bad news: like last night, I still have some committed practicing to do. This is never easy post-midnight.  Enough blah blah blah.

Guitar calisthenics at 9am, then C3 are back on for rehearsal in the morning, working on tightening our tunes and tuning.  Goodnight.

Vegas / Video update: I may have a bad primary SSD. Or the 64-bit version of Vegas Pro 11 is buggy.

I did a test and transferred rendering to another 32-bit machine, and it rendered fine.

First world problem, but still frustrating to focus on this kind of bug instead of focusing on the content in the music and videos.

Update, source of Vegas bugs discovered: bad sectors on my primary disk. Back to editing without errors.
