Tyler Hilton updated fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (September 10), talking about the final day of recording for his third album. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Today I’m back in the studio for what should be the final day of recording. Matt’s telling me I need to fix a couple back ground vocals and otherwise just listen to all 6 tunes we recorded and make sure we love everything before sending it off to be mixed. For those of you who aren’t studio savvy, mixing is like editing a film. You film the movie then you send it to an editor to make sure the color of the movie is consistent, the sound all works together, and the spaces between scenes are seamless. Same with mixing. After today we’ll have recorded all the instruments and have decided to have Chris Lord Algai (who did mixed a lot of my last record and has already mixed some other tunes from this one) nail ‘em. He’ll take all the tracks of instruments and make sure they all sound good together. It’s very boring for me to explain past that. Just know that it means, final stages. Once it’s mixed we send it to a mastering house to be mastered. I don’t know why we do this, but every record is mastered. It’s just another step to drive fans crazy. I think we go in with Chris on the 24th or 26th…moving along! I’ll find out more today. So! That’s where it all is.

Tyler Hilton checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Wednesday (July 8), offering an update on his new album. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Record Update! How much have I caught you up on? Well, I’m in the studio with Matt Serletic (Aerosmith, Matchbox 20) cutting 7 new tunes for this ever growing volume of music I’ve been dangling in front of you for the last few years. My plan is to finish these 7 tunes in the next couple weeks and among the 25 or so songs I’ve recorded, pick 13 to be the finished LP…

But why keep recording? Why cut 7 new tunes? And, why Serletic? To me there’s a difference between 13 good songs and a good album. This record deserves to be looked at as a full piece of work, not just disjointed chapters. And to be honest, that’s what I thought it was when all was said and done a month ago. I challenged myself to write another song or 2 that would improve the work as a whole and ended up writing 7. I know, I was annoyed too. Dry spells, wet spells, I have no control.

Tyler Hilton updated fans on his blog at MySpace on Tuesday (April 28), talking about the difficulties he’s encountering using Twitter after being pushed to use the micro blogging web site by his label. The singer songwriter tells readers:

I’m here in the D terminal at Salt Lake City airport, next to the Grove Natural Snacks stand. Boom! That could be a twitter! I’ve been cursing the “T word” for the last couple weeks. I hated it. Bich Ngoc and Sarah, who keep me hip to the times web wise at Warner, insisted I do it. They downloaded the thing on my Blackberry (do I capitalize unnecessarily? Do I do it often?)… TwitterBerry. They showed me how to work it and assured me it was the newest most fun way of keeping in touch with you guys. “What happened to the Blog?” I wanted to know. “Well — do those too”, they said, “but Twitter also.” “But, but, but, I’m limited in characters on that thing. I have no room to verbally stretch my legs!” “Well”, they said, “maybe that’ll be good for you.”
