March and April Music Posted

Did I mention that I recently had an external hard drive die on me? Did I also mention that the uncompressed versions of both the March and April music thingies were on that now deceased external hard drive?

They were.

So I decided to take a break from the bad mixing of the bad music to upload the last two music projects to bandcamp.com. I had to take mp3’s from alonetone and uncompress those, which is about as useful as… well… nothing.

Anyway, the two playlists from bandcamp.com are on my Music page with all the other home demo collections. I’ll stick ’em here too just for fun.

Do not under any circumstances pay for any of the music I’ve posted to bandcamp.com. If you need a download, it’s all on alonetone. Download it from there for nothing. Although, why on Earth anyone would want to download any of this garbage is beyond me.

RPM Challenge – Day 18

I mixed two songs last night. I don’t like either of them, or anything else I’ve worked on this month. It’s good, because I don’t think I am going to have enough time in the house alone to finish all of the vocals.

This is the first song I worked on, and the first song I finished:

This is the 12th song I worked on, and the second song I finished. As you can guess, I am jumping around all over the place right now.

I have one more song that is ready to mix. I was just too tired to finish it off last night. Yesterday I wrote lyrics and a really rough melody for three more songs. This morning I recorded two of them. My vocal performance was terrible at best, but it’s done and I don’t think I am going to have time to fix anything that irks me when I start listening back to it. I didn’t take the time to put rough mixes up onto Soundcloud.

So that’s five vocals recorded, and a sixth that is written and ready to record. I need to get four more done to qualify for RPM, and eight more to qualify for FAWM. FAWM is starting to look like a lost cause. I took Thursday and Friday off from work, but I don’t think I am going to have time on those days to handle vocals. I’m starting to honestly consider driving to an empty parking lot somewhere and recording in the car. It’s looking more and more like that’s the only way I will be able to finish everything. Cold weather be damned, you know?
