Yesterday was day 18… what did I do, what did I do…
I put rhythm guitars onto two songs. They were both easy songs but I struggled with them for some reason. I was hoping to get to three songs (the only three songs I had that still needed guitars) before work, but I only managed two.
Later in the day I added a new song idea. This makes 17. By the time the day was over it had MIDI bass and drums, a MIDI guide track for the guitar parts, a MIDI piano track acting as a guide for the melody, and lyrics. Nice. Spoiler alert for tomorrow’s post, it now has guitars too.
After that I finished the lyrics and melody for a song I started working on the day before (at least I think it was the day before) and then added lyrics and melodies to two more songs.
That’s it for day 18. Tomorrow (day 20) is a day dedicated to music as it’s my annual oh-crap-I’m-not-going-to-finish-so-I-need-to-book-a-vacation-day day. Today (day 19) is an in the office day so who knows if I’ll have time for much tonight.
The current state of the project (including work I’ve already done today):
- Zero songs complete
- Zero songs ready to mix
- Six songs ready for leads (be they sax or guitar or both). Five have vocals and one is a planned instrumental
- Five songs ready for vocals (which I expect to record during my day off tomorrow)
- Five songs ready for lyrics and melodies
- One song ready for rhythm guitars
- Three songs ready to exist because I have 17 songs in progress and I want to get up to at least 20
