I’m up to seven songs in the works. I thought I made decent progress yesterday, but I didn’t do as well as I thought.
I’ve been working soley on the iPad. Just using the built in guitar, bass, and drum sounds to work out short phrases. I piece together 4-5 of these little segments and group them into one song file. Yesterday I started moving on a little. I recorded rhythm guitar parts for two of the song/segment collections. I then ported the iOS files into OSX and arranged the segments into song forms.
That’s progress, right? Well it was until I realized that one of the guitar parts had a really bad edit and needs to be redone. I was also going to record bass guitar onto the iOS files, but I didn’t. I just didn’t want to wait anymore. There was also the little problem I had when I tried recording rhythm guitars for a third song, and I couldn’t play the part. Urgh. It’s a simple little thing, but my fat friggin fingers just didn’t want to do it. I will probably split it up into two parts rather than just double the one part. It’s a cheat, but it’s also RPM… so I guess it’s okay.
The kids have a snow day today so I am going to work from home. Usually working from home means progress gets made, but I don’t see much happening today.
I made a Work in Progress playlist on Soundcloud. I am deleting and replacing files from it all the time, so it will show my latest progress. Right now, there isn’t much to listen to, but it’s there if you want to torture yourself.
