Monumental stuff today. I added two new songs because I am a glutton for punishment. I also mixed one song. That one song being the 50th song. I have successfully completed the 50 songs in 90 days challenge! Hurray for me, folks! Yet another pointless waste of time in the books!

Now while I could call it a project and take the last three days off, I will not. I still have seven songs outstanding. Three are ready to mix. Four need vocals and two of those still need guitars. I hope to finish all of the tracking (again) on day 88 (today). I can pull this off.

And with the finished mix of this stink nugget, I have successfully pulled off the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. Yup, this is finished song number 50. I was hoping it would be a banger, but instead it is not. Oh well.

2014, 2020, 2021, and now 2024. My forth victory.

Day 86 (yesterday) was a nightmare of stomach pain and post-gastric-bypass surgery awfulness. I woke up at 5:00 feeling pain and it didn’t go away until about 9:00pm. In short, yesterday sucked.

I did manage to put both rhythm and lead guitar tracks onto one song. I was hoping to mix something and maybe add another song to the pipeline as well, but my redesigned innards had other plans. At least I didn’t get shut out, right?

Let’s see… I put all of the guitar tracks onto one song before work. After work I added another song (why?) and then mixed song number 49. The project is officially 98% complete.

I’m hoping day 86 is going to look pretty much the same.

I over did things without making any major progress. Somehow… I guess.

I mixed a song. That’s good. Before I did that though I added a song. MIDI bass and drums down as well as a melody and lyrics. The pipeline is up to 54 songs now. Why did I do that?

I mixed another song. It’s been uploaded to Alonetone.com and cross posted to the 50/90 challenge page. 48 songs down. Two more completes the challenge for this year. I’m 96% finished.

I mixed one song last night, just before bed. That’s all I had time for. 47 songs complete. Three more to finish the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. Three more on top of that to empty my in-progress pipeline.

I have 11 songs that were started in September. It would be more fun if there were 15, don’t you think? I have this weird compulsion to add four more songs. I think this whole project might be getting to me. We’ll see.

47 songs down and three to go in order to complete the 50 songs in 90 days challenge for 2024.

If I pick out 5-10 songs from this year’s batch to make an “album”, it’s safe to say that this one won’t be included. It’s not the worst song, but it’s not terribly good either. Can 7/8 time swing? I guess not.
