24/04: 30 Songs in 30 Days!
Ok, I'm sitting here in Burger King, trapped until the rain passes. I happened to bring one of my gadget-boy tools, so I can use this as the opportunity to post my intention to record 30 songs in 30 days!
I've come up with this great scheme now for my live performances, and I relly, really want to start working on it, but if I were to just drop everything and dive into it, there would be one problem in particular with my group of web sites. The problem would be about how many songs are posted. I want a better range of my tunes to be up, so other mucisians, who might be interested in joining forces, band-wise, or people who want to hear more... Y'know. There's just not enough divesity up right now, so I'm posting 30 songs in thirty days!
I'm already on day 3, and it's been going ok. Had some trouble with my new computer (don't buy a Roland US-122 if you're on dual-core, groan), so I'm doing it on my old one, and it took me way longer than I'd hoped to get a decent sound, and I had uninstalled Cakewalk on the old machine, so I had to find it and reinstall it, etc., etc. All things that might have stopped me before, but not now! There are no unrealistic goals, only unrealistic deadlines, right? I've tamed my inner Eeyore, and i'm on the gravy train to... Graveyville. Sweet Gravyville.
The sound has been important becausse I'm using non-studio quality equipment, and it's just me and my acoustic guitar on all these tunes. I've gotta do acoustic versions of everything so I can guarantee posting so many in such a short time frame. I think I've found the right spot in my "Lab" now, to get the most out of the gear I've got. Lol, but if a truck goes by, it puts a shitload of bass into the recording.
Anyway, I'll probably get to the posting part tomorrow, so over the next few weeks, you can check out my progress at http://eyeofthemonkey.com, should you be so inclined.
