2024 NaSoAlMo Day 22/30

Another good day. I finished the vocals for the month. Three songs were vocal-free when I started the morning and by the time I got to work zero songs were vocal-free.

Now that that singing crap is all done I can get back to playing guitar. All that is left are lead guitars and mix downs.

More Car Music

Another day, another batch of recorded vocals in the car in the (mostly) empty movie theater parking lot. No movies were watched during this early morning session, but vocals were added to three songs.

I am done with vocals for this month, thank goodness. I hate the sound of my own voice and I don’t like singing and I don’t like writing lyrics and my melodies are dumb. I just don’t like not having a vocal part of the crappy songs that I write so if I am gonna write songs, they are gonna have vocals. My kingdom for a little self confidence… and talent.

I have seven songs for this months National Solo Album Month project. All seven have vocals. Now I can get back to recording guitars (it’s time for lead guitars and solos and solos and solos) and then just mix ’em all down and I’ll be done. Eight days left.

2024 NaSoAlMo Day 21/30

Finally a productive day.

When I woke up on day 21 (yesterday) I had five songs ready for vocals. By the time I punched into work, four of them were done. At that point I still had two songs that needed lyrics and melodies. By the time I went to sleep they were both done. Now I’m left with three songs ready for vocals and four ready for lead guitars. Lets see what today (day 22) brings us.
